exec means replace the current shell by the command specified. 
Everything that follows is therefor not executed. If you remove the exec 
then it will work as well, and the commands after will get executed in 
sequence _after_ the vncserer dies. This might be handy is some 
occasions like starting and stopping ssh agents:

cat ~/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
unset SESSION_MANAGER
eval $(ssh-agent)
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
kill $SSH_AGENT_PID
exit
