How to configure VNC display

Tags: vnc, configure, linux, display
I want to try to use VNC from Windows XP to remote control a RedHat Linux ES server.
I am able to connect to the Linux server through VNC. After I get connected, it does not show the desktop of the lLinux server and just a terminal window. I was told the xstart script file need to be modified in order to show the desktop.
Could anyone help on this?

The xstart script file is as follow:

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

Thanks!
