This works for me:

#!/bin/sh

# Slackware Linux VNC session startup script
#
unset SESSION_MANAGER
#exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

# Another example of setting up desktop environment
#
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r /.Xresources ] && xrdb /.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title " Desktop" &
startxfce4 &
