Looks like you haven't defined any sort of ~/.vnc/xinitrc, or is it  
~/.vnc/xstartup (?), something like that. You need to define what you  
want to be launched on vnc initiation in this file. If you're trying  
to connect to an already running desktop session, you need to start  
the vncserver with the -name option, try the man pages for more details.
