When I execute VNC on my laptop I do not get the error message mentioned in your write up regarding the panel loading and I do not get the panel with the Applications, Places, and System options. I have tried reinstalling vncserver, TightVNC and reloading the gnome.

Hi there,
What exactly do you see when you launch VNC? Do you get a grey screen or something else? Can you provide a screenshot please?
And can you also paste the contents of your .vnc/xstartup file please?
Thanks,
Ian.

Morning Ian,
I have added a jpg of the view but I get a crosshatch type background with no applications pane.
Here is what I have in the startup file:
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 1280x1024+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
x-window-manager &

I got it. I was missing the sh in the xinit line.

Indeed you were! Glad you've fixed it.
