You need to edit the "xstartup" file that is located in your home directory
at:

~/.vnc/xstartup


Where "~" is your home directory.  There will be a line that looks like
this:

twm &

Comment or delete this line and add this line to start kde

startkde &


Sorry, I forgot the command to start GNOME, but it is at the gnome site in
the FAQ on how to start it up.
