I normally run gnome, so in my ~/.vnc/xstartup I have:

exec gnome-session &

as the last line.  But this fedora 20 arm system is running Xfce! So
after a quick google search, I changed that to:

exec xfce4-session &

But still I get vnc having a blank screen.  That no desktop is running
in vnc.  /var/log/messages says:

What exactly do you have in the /home/user/.vnc/xstartup file

Mine is as follows
#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
exec  /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc #   X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
#vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
startxfce4 &
#twm &


Note: The change in the xinitrc to use the xfce4 and the startxfce4 &

So I changed mine to:

if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then
#  exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
  exec /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
fi
if [ -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then
#  exec sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
  exec sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
fi

restarted the vncserver and connected. Now I get a blank black screeen rather than a blank blue screen...

Do I need xfce installed on my notebook?  I only have gnome on it.
