Bug Description

After upgrading to 13.10, TightVNC does not load gnome session - it just shows a terminal window, with no session.

This is my ~/.vnc/xstartup

#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
 unset SESSION_MANAGER
 unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
  gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback.desktop &
# gnome-session --session=gdm-session &

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
x-window-manager &

This is the xtightvnc log:

Window manager warning: Log level 32: could not find XKB extension.

Use of other xstartup scripts results in either a solid grey scrren or a checkered type grey screen, but have not been successful in loading any gnome-sessions.
