I am trying to access a debian 3.1 box through vnc and run x as

Don't run X as root.
How do you configure vmware then?
I don't. But if I had an X app that needed root privileges, I'd use
sudo or su from a terminal.
I thought that was what I implied I was doing in my problem
description: start vnc as user, login to machine through vnc, then su
root, and run the Xapp. What I want is to then setup X so that it can
only export to localhost or through a ssh tunnel. I would like to be
able to run the vmware stuff through vnc so that I can leave it open as
needed so i can monitor it whenever I need. I do setup vnc so that it
only exports to localhost (i.e. I need to ssh to the machine first,
forwarding the appropriate ports).
Does it make sense now? =)
