You need to create an xstartup file in ~/.vnc (the ".vnc" folder in
your home directory). Mine looks like this:
-----------------------------
#!/bin/sh

[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
gnome-session &
------------------------

Then make the file executable: 

chmod +x xstartup

Then restart vnc4server
