As far as the $USER/.vnc/xstartup  I've never edited it to start gnome, it just does it by default.  I suppose you can try deleting the file and have it recreated the next time the server is started.

FWIW, I do edit $USER/.vnc/xstartup to change the lines with

exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

to

exec /home/user/.xinitrc

and I create a /home/user/.xinitrc containing

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde

to give me a KDE desktop.
