THE desktop of the console cannot be captured (with vnc). There are 2 general routes to get a desktop on your vncviewer window: Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup to start a window manager. By default `twm` is started, this can be changed to any other window manager or desktop manager. The other option is to setup a vnc-login construction as on http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp. This will give you about the same session as at the console.
