Well, no go.
1) I can not seem to get a VNC session active.
2) I uninstalled and reinstalled and still no go.
3) Firefox will not launch on the remote machine today. Konqueror will
still launch but fierfox will not
Here are the most basic things I tried.

This will configure on-boot properties of Oracle Database 10g Express

should
be starting upon system boot, the ports it will use, and the passwords
that
will be used for database accounts. Press <Enter> to accept the
defaults.
Ctrl-C will abort.
Specify the HTTP port that will be used for Oracle Application Express

Specify a port that will be used for the database listener [1521]:
Specify a password to be used for database accounts. Note that the same
password will be used for SYS and SYSTEM. Oracle recommends the use of
different passwords for each database account. This can be done after
initial configuration:
Confirm the password:

I sounds like your install is corrupt (I had that happen on a 64 bit
machine once); I would start over.
rpm -qa | grep -i oracle (there should only be 1 for XE).
uninstall oracleXE: rpm -e oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0
then delete all of the oracle files and directories.
rm -rf /usr/lib/oracle
rm -rf /var/lib/menu/kde/Applications/OracleXE
rm -rf /etc/rc.d/init.d/oracle-xe
rm -rf /etc/rc.d/init.d/oracle-xe.rpmorig
rm -rf /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K05oracle-xe
rm -rf /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K05oracle-xe
rm -rf /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S80oracle-xe
rm -rf /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80oracle-xe
rm -rf /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S80oracle-xe
rm -rf /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S80oracle-xe
rm -rf /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K05oracle-xe
rm -rf /etc/sysconfig/oracle-xe
rm -rf /etc/xdg/menus/oraclexe.menu
rm -rf /usr/share/applications/oraclexe*
rm -rf /usr/share/a2ps/sheets/oracle.ssh
rm -rf /usr/share/vim/vim70/syntax/sqloracle.vim
Then re-install the rpm.
Install vncserver and enough of X to access the local desktop over vnc;
edit the .vnc/xstartup
Here's what mine looks like :
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
gnome-session
