Vncserver on SNV97 DomU at Xen 3.3 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 (64-bit)

Sun Xvnc implementation for Nevada, committed in build 76 provides 3 options. Third one is to start vncserver by hands. It allocates two ports 580(X) and 590(X),where (X) is available display number.Port 580(X) may be used for http://IP-DomU:580(X) connection to DomU , port 590(X) may be used by vncviewer IP-DomU:(X) connection.Both ways initiate loading Java Applets from DomU into Dom0. Connection via vncviewer has been selected on CentOS 5.2 Dom0 (with Sun JDK 6.0 installed) due to issue with Java Web Start and FireFox on 64-bit Linux. By some reasons first and second options provided by official Sun Xvnc failed on SNV97 DomU, successfully installed via pygrub in text mode as usual.Following bellow is a snapshot of DomU start up.

File ~/.vnc/xstartup generated by vncviewer in this case looks like:-

#!/bin/sh

unset SESSION_MANAGER
OS=`uname -s`
if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then
 exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
fi
if [ $OS = 'SunOS' -a -f $HOME/.dt/sessions/lastsession ]; then
 exec `cat $HOME/.dt/sessions/lastsession`

if [ -f /usr/dt/config/Xsession.jds ]; then
 exec /usr/dt/config/Xsession.jds
else
 if [ -f /usr/dt/bin/Xsession ]; then
   exec /usr/dt/bin/Xsession
 else
   if [ -x /opt/sfw/bin/fvwm2 ]; then
     /opt/sfw/bin/fvwm2
   else
     which fvwm2 && {
       fvwm2
     } || {
       which twm && {
         xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
         xsetroot -solid grey
         xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
         twm
       } || {
         echo No window manager found!
       }
     }
   fi

In case of replacement packages SUNWvncviewer,SUNWxvnc from any recent Nevada build
less than 97. Standard Xvnc gets back in place. However same file xstartup in this
case looks like:-

#!/bin/sh

[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
  

What provides just X-terminal window instead of gnome desktop


Issue vncviewer 192.168.1.27:1 from another terminal session.
