OK.  I believe I figured out what is wrongish.

I normally run gnome, so in my ~/.vnc/xstartup I have:

exec gnome-session &

as the last line.  But this fedora 20 arm system is running Xfce! So after a quick google search, I changed that to:

exec xfce4-session &

But still I get vnc having a blank screen.  That no desktop is running in vnc.  /var/log/messages says:

As I've mentioned in an earlier post....  I've got no problems to run different desktops.

FWIW, I do edit the default $USER/.vnc/xstartup to change the lines with

exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

to

exec /home/user/.xinitrc

and I create a /home/user/.xinitrc containing

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde

OR

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4

You may want to consider trying that as I recall there being a problem if you don't involve dbus.

FWIW, this is on 2 3.15.6-200.fc20.x86_64 systems.
