I didn't need to do any of that. In Redhat7.0 I put a line at the bottom of
the rc.local script that pointed to the "vncserver" file in my case
/usr/sbin/vncserver. Upon bootup It asked me what the password was and
created everything for me

Hi Wilfried,
i am running VNC since severaly years also on SuSE Linux (actually on
6.4, 7.0, 7,1 and 7.2) without problems.
What i understand is:
Your want to start a vncserver and you expect a user interface as your
were locally logged in.
So you have to do some configuration settingsto vncserver
create a file in ~/.vnc/xstartup with the following contents (example)
--
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid rgbi:0.4/0.2/0.2
xset s blank
# DPMS (Energy Star) setting
xset dpms 300 0 0
/usr/X11R6/bin/kde & # or any other preferred window manager
--
start vncserver with the options (-depth 16 is important for kde !!):
---
vncserver -pixelformat rgb565 -depth 16
---
Thats it.
Start your vncviewer and enjoy what you see (i hope).
This way, work fine on our enviroment.
