That was your mistake. :-)

As shipped, Red Hat Linux 8.0 comes with VNC, complete with a default
configuration to use the Bluecurve theme.  You just had to run
'vncserver', and be done.

The magic bit of configuration is in .vnc/xstartup.  Change it to
this:

-->
#!/bin/sh

# Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
<--
