Test in intrepid:

1. vncserver
2. vncserver -kill :1
3. edit ~/.vnc/xstartup to be:
  unset SESSION_MANAGER
  exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
4. vncserver
5. Open "Remote Desktop Viewer"
6. "Connect" to "localhost:13"

Expected:
GNOME session starts.

Bug:
Nothing starts.

I think the bug is in xinit. I checked Fedora 9, and they have xinitrc set to 755.

I modified xinit-1.0.9-2 to, at postinst, chmod o+x xinitrc.

It seems to fix it for me.
