Can only VNC in twm mode


Hi

Pretty new to linux
I have just installed Centos5 and was able to vnc to the server in gnome desktop mode. Since yesterday everytime i vnc into server i can only get the twm mode. I have made no changes
Can anyone help?
I have checked some of the info on here and everything is as it should be. Even on the server console I am only booting into command line prompt

Check the VNC settings for the user that you are logging into via the VNC-client.
Are you using the same user account as before? A different account would explain why the default VNC settings are used.
Could be also be that you have multiple VNC-servers running, and are connecting to one with some standard twm setup.
