LinuxQuestions.org - xterm keeps respawning and no gnome panel

My VNC connection to gnome works but I have about 10 xterm 's open. Each time I close one, it respawns. Any ideas on how to shut them down? I tried killing them from the bash script but they restart.

Code:



#!/bin/sh

# Add the following line to ensure you always have an xterm available.

#( while true ; do xterm ; done ) &



# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:

unset SESSION_MANAGER

#exec /etc/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" &

twm &

Also, I cannot see a gnome panel anymore, when it starts up it says that a panel is alreday running.
