I was experimenting with this today with vncserver. I don't know if
RealVnc does things differently, but this is worth the try....
With vncserver you have ~/.vnc/xstartup which will exec
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. Which, in turn, exec /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients.
Because I was lazy and couldn't figure out why variables weren't being
passed/detected properly I made a brute force change to
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients.
I changed...
if [ -n "$GSESSION" ]; then
# by default, we run GNOME.
exec "$GSESSION"
to...
if [ -n "$GSESSION" ]; then
# by default, we run GNOME.
exec "$STARTKDE"
This gave me a KDE session. (I prefer KDE, always have...)
