Thanks.

Mike:

I use Gnome, not Xvnc, on my desktop, and I'm by no means an 
expert, but my understanding is that Xvnc is an X server, and in 
general, U should only have one of those running.  My guess is that 
Xvnc is your X server, and U're running IceWM as your window 
manager on :1.  Probably, the X startup/login script (~/.xinitrc?) 
is launching Gnome (on the first available screen, perhaps?), and U 
need to remove or comment out those commands to conserve resources. 
 U would also be able to run IceWM on :0 instead of :1.

HTH!
