Re: vnc and weird background

Change your xinitrc to this:

#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop"
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session 
#twm

Also why do you put all that stuff in .xinitrc instead of autostart.sh?

Re: vnc and weird background

Try a clean .xinitrc with only "exec ck-launch-session openbox-session".

Or if you think the problem is conky, just comment it out in your autostart.sh.
