Actual Results: VNCSERVER gives this output: Couldn't start Xvnc; trying default font path. Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script. Couldn't start Xvnc process.

Haven't tried without them, dont see why that would cause any problems
Also tried a few things like commenting out the problem parts in /etc/security/pam_env.conf (decomment the XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY), but this does indeed make the PAM-errors go away.... but tightvnc still crashes
with which version of xorg-x11 was this? can you reproduce this with 6.8.0-r4?
