My guess is that your problem is the same as the one I had. Run ldd on the apps that are causing trouble. If they are using the openwin libs, then they should run. If they are using the X11 libs, their may be a problem. My guess is that we need to recompile Xvnc using the newer libraries if we want to use the newer programs. (on my system, emacs won't display under Xvnc, but xemacs will).

The error from gvim 5.7: cannot open displaychild process failed to start gui The error from xemacs 21.1.12: Initialization error: X server not responding : "MYHOST:1.0" (MYHOST == the real hostname).
