OK, we have progress!

That was in the installed ~/.vnc/xstartup file which started
a terminal viewer. I can only guess that "-solid grey"

OK. startxfce4 given interactively on the server
starts the GUI. Try this as the content of
~/.vnc/xstartup.
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
