Step-by-step for mfaridi:
  1. Install tightvnc package.
  2. Open the appropriate ports on your network. By default, the port number for incoming connections from VNC clients to the server is 5900+display number. If you will be using VNC clients with -listen, open the appropriate ports as necessary.
  3. Run the server from the connect-to userid on your OpenBSD platform for the first time:
    $ vncserver
    Provide a connection password for normal connection.
    Optionally provide a display only password for restricted connection.
  4. Kill the server:
    $ pkill vnc
  5. Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup. Have it start gnome-session, rather than running the default fvwm window manager.
  6. Rerun the vncserver
  7. Connect from your VNC client(s).
