Hi folks...

Thanks for the comments..   I think I figured out my issue.

I re-read some of the other discussions related to 'grey screens' and
finally noticed a comment regarding the /tmp/.X11-unix directory...

As I installed and started running VNC as my user (not root), this directory
was created as my user.  I did come across the comment about /tmp/.X11-unix
(and /tmp/.X11-pipe) needing to be owned by root.  But silly me, I figured,
if I own it AND I had reset it to global access, why shouldn't it work.

Well, like I said, I re-read that comment and figured I might as well give
it a try...

Seems that has done the trick!

Thanks again for your suggestions!
