vnc 4.1 on solaris 8 inetd not working

Whenever I connect with vncviewer I get the window manager and I put in
my login and password but as soon as I do the session dies before I get
the full desktop. Here is my configuration:

In my /etc/services:

# grep vnc /etc/services

vnc 5901/tcp vnc #Virtual Network
Computing

#

In my /etc/inetd.conf:

# grep vnc /etc/inetd.conf

vnc stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Xvnc
-inetd -query localhost -once securitytypes=none -desktop DISPLAY=mail:1

#

Permissions of /tmp/.X11

# ls -las /tmp/.X11-unix

total 32

  16 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 176 May 3 15:17 .

  16 drwxrwxrwt 12 root sys 1653 May 3 15:17 ..

#

The fontserver is running on 7100. I ran my inetd daemon with the -d
option to see if it would give me any hints. Here is what it says:

attempting incoming service vnc

accept, ctrl 4

7850 reaped

So it seems when vnc is about to open the full desktop the process gets
reaped. But why?
