It has been years since the last time I got gnome
to work in a VNC session, it seems way too dependent
on 3D stuff to function reasonably. I do have a
working script, but I use FVWM and don't try
to run a full blown gnome 3. I think the main
trick to getting apps to work is to get a dbus
session started. This provides me a minimal session
where I can manually run other programs as I need them:
#!/bin/bash
exec > $HOME/.vnc/xstartup.log 2>&1
. $HOME/.bash_profile
unset SSH_AGENT_PID
unset SSH_CLIENT
unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unset SSH_CONNECTION
eval `dbus-launch --exit-with-session --sh-syntax`

I doubt if what I have will help. It is from F14 or F15 I think.
I start x11vnc as a user, not as root. I think you start x11vnc as root.
sewill@localhost:~/.vnc <3:3> $ more xstartup

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
