Silly question - are you sure that KDE is actually installed on the
machine you are connecting to?

Try changing twm to startx.

Also is Gnome already running on that machine? Or for that user account
locally on the machine?

Could it be KDE wants a certain font? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/

One last thought try "exec startkde &".

Hmm one more thought, check the logs in ~/.vnc for hints as to what's
going on, also log onto the machine and execute "sh -x ~/.vnc/xstartup"
and see if you get any error hints.
