vncserver

I noticed that my Gnome-2, Ximianized, Red Hat 7.3, VNC server
(vncserver) was not working properly properly. Opening a VNC viewer to
view the server's desktop displayed a blank window with no panels or
icons, just the old style X shaped pointer.

The VNC viewer (vncviewer) was OK and was able to view other vncserver
desktops on Gnome-1.4 boxes. but not on its own Gnome-2 vncserver
desktop. Even opening a vncviewer on the Gnome-2 box does not display
the desktop properly.

I tried switching to tightvnc with identical results. The server starts
but a vncviewer only sees a blank desktop with no content. I just
installed the new Mandrake 9.0 rc2 today and had the same problems on
it.  However, a guy I know with a Gentoo distro running Gnome-2 with
Metacity and tightvnc claims he has no such problem, that VNC works as
it should on his system.

Is there a known issue with either Gnome-2 or Metacity and VNC? Anyone
manage to get VNC working with Gnome-2 on their favorite distro?
