I am trying to setup VNC from Fedora 10. I install vnc-server-4.1.3-1.fc10 (i386) and when I run 'vncserver' everything looks fine:
New 'sugar.tca.local:3 (rob)' desktop is sugar.tca.local:1
Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/sugar.tca.local:1.log
But when I connect from my Windows box I just get a grey screen with three checkboxes in the top left corner:
__Accept clipboard from viewers
__Send clipboard to viewers
__Send primary selection to viewers
The first time I try to connect after starting the vncserver I get this error message:
"Could not connect to session bus. Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
When I click "Close" I get another message:
"Could not acquire name on session bus."
When I checked the error log on the Fedora box I see this:

I'm still fairly new to Linux, any guidance would be greatly appreciated - thanks.
