Someone may come along to correct me for the specifics of VNC, but in
general, if you're logging into GNOME using startx, you can just make
your ~/.xinitrc run 'startxfce4', or you can run startxfce4 from the
command line, or switch sessions from your display manager (e.g. GDM)
if applicable).

HTH,
