This is not exactly an xfce question but is related to starting xfce for 
use with tightVNC.

There is a vnc 'xstartup' script that runs but gives an error message 
each time:
Couldn't start Xvnc; trying default font path
Please set correct font path in the vncserver script.

My vncserver script in ~/.vnc/xstartup is:

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

# I picked these two out of about 12 fontpaths in xorg.conf:
FontPath = "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"

xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &

# Finally, launch XFce window manager
exec xfwm
xsetroot -solid black
