The default window manager is set as twm.  This was the best window
manager 1985 had to offer, and it hasn't gotten a lot fancier since
then.  It's advantage is that it's small, and very lightweight.  If
you want a fancier window manager, what you need to do is edit your
$HOME/.vnc/xstartup script.  Mine looks like:

#!/bin/sh

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
startgnome &
# startkde &

The & after startgnome (to put it in the background) is important...
though I can't remember why right now.
