Question VNC problems

I am trying to get TightVNC viewer running on a Windows machine to work with the VNC Server on my Linux Server. I can do the reverse quite easily and it works great. Yet when I connect to my Linux Server, I do not get what I expect.

All I get is a blank grey screen with a cursor X on it, but no desktop, icons, or anything.

The viewer lists it as:

nobody's x11 desktop (servername:6);

I set it up through yast and opened the firewall, but the yast setup does not give a lot of information about what is being setup or what screen it is setting up. I am assuming that it is screen 1 since that is the only one that connects though I don't understand what the 6 is after the servername.
