Here are my notes for getting vnc to work on Centos 7 with mate:

VNCSERVER SETUP

To start vncserver:
systemctl start vncserver at 1:service

to kill and restart the vnc server as a user:
vncserver -kill :1
vncserver :1


  To get mate to show up use the follow text in your

  ~.vnc/xstartup file:

#!/bin/sh


# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
  unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

  [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
  [ -r HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb HOME/.Xresources
  xsetroot -solid grey
  vncconfig -iconic &
  x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
  mate-session &
