I do not understand "when I start vncserver"  and "and X isnt running before I 
start it.".  

I configure /etc/xinetd.d/vnc  to start KDM in response to a remote vnc 
connection.  This allows a KDE login, which starts an X session with KDE 
which displays in the remote VNC window.

But I do not know exactly what happens in Mandrake 9.1.  Colin told me how he 
set up his work SuSE box to allow disadvantaged colleagues to run a KDE 
session on his workstation from their WinXP boxes.  I mostly do things the 
other way round and use vncviewer from Linux to support remote users running 
Win2k/TightVNC.
