I've got VNC running with blackbox. Is there any useful info in the vncserer logfile - probably located at ~/.vnc/<something>.log. Basically, I set up a special user under which to launch the VNC server, so that I can effectively restrict any VNC usage to that which I have explicitly setup for the special VNC user. In my case, I just created a user called 'vncuser'. All the necessary files are at "/home/vncuser/.vnc". Namely, the file "xstartup" - make sure that this file is executable by the user running VNC.
