Can't get to display screen

You dont' have a window manager (KDE, Gnome, XFCE, IceWM, etc) running. One
question:
How are you invoking the VNC Server? Are you starting it from a command line
from an SSH or Telnet session? If so, check your .vnc folder and look for a
file called "xstartup" and make sure it looks something like this:
#!/bin/sh

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

Hi there,

After entering the ip address of the vnc server and password on the vnc 
client to connect. This authenticate fine, but it gives me a blank grey 
screen with only 2 radio button after authentication:

1) Send clipboard to viewer
2) Send primary selection to viewers

I am running the vnc server Xnvcn version 4.0b4 on Red hat linux 
enterprise 3 workstation, and vnc client 4.1.1 (free edition)  on 
windows xp.  May I ask why am I getting the problem above and how to 
solve it?

Thank you,
Jana
