You may need to check the script used to start the window manager for the vnc session. Believe it is in the users .vnc directory that you connect as, called xstartup. It has been a while but back on a 7.0 system I seem to remember having to change this file to call the correct window manager. Otherwise you get a generic window manager with little extras.
