Hmmm...
I always launch vncserver from an Eterm (after I've started X).
My vncserver xstartup file reads like this:

[tenebrae_at_pointy .vnc]$ cat xstartup
#!/bin/sh

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -bg black -fg LightGrey -ls -title
"$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
fvwm2

I've never had a problem with it, except trying to figure out how to get
my starting xterm to have reverse video enabled! I finally gave up and
just set the background and foreground colours.
I also dunno what the xrdb $HOME/.Xresources line is for (I can't find one
anywhere). Oh well...at least it works.
