I don't really understand your question, but if you are trying to figure
out why VNC is launching twm, you need to edit ~/.vnc/xstartup (or a
simliar file, forgot name). Put what you usually put in .xinitrc to
start KDE, in xstartup, and kill the existing VNC session, and restart
it. That should fix it. I hope this helps.

Hello -
DISCLAIMER - I am not able to try this in FreeBSD, so the limit may
differ.

'man vncserver' gives:
vncserver
[:_number_]
... etc ...
:_number_
The dislay number to use. If omitted, the next
free display number is used.
There is apparently a limit on display numbers - I was able to assign
'99' but not '101' - but the number seems to be greater than '2'. YMMV.
