I had this issue earlier as well , but all the blogs misled me.
When I start the vnc , I get the grey vnc screen but no terminal window on it.
there is nothing much I can do on the vnc screen without the terminal (putty) window
While i google , lot of the blogs say about modifying the /home/oracle/.vnc/xstartup file
I modified it and restart vnc number of times, but nothing helped.
Then , I turn to the vnc log file to see if I can find a clue of whats wrong.
The following line caught my attention:
/root/.vnc/xstartup: line 11: xterm: command not found
upon checking xterm command is not found.
[root@ovpxpippd .vnc]#
[root@ovpxpippd .vnc]# ls -l /usr/bin/xterm
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/xterm: No such file or directory
[root@ovpxpippd .vnc]#
[root@ovpxpippd .vnc]#
I proceed to install xterm.
[root@ovpxpippd .vnc]#
[root@ovpxpippd .vnc]# yum install xterm

Then started up vnc, and yes, now I get my terminal window.
So although you have the vnc packages , but unless you have the xterm packages installed , you cannot make use of vnc .
Hope this helps some one.
