Chuck:
   If the .vnc folder doesn't exist, create it. Then create an xstartup
file looking like:

#!/bin/sh
exec fluxbox

   ssh into the box then run vncserver from the command line.

  This bypasses any distro-specific setup for shared desktops. I.e., the
latest KDE automatically can start a VNC session to allow others to
connect to the existing desktop. Remember that each vncserver starts up
its own environment so you can have multiple people logged into a box.
