That's some nice information :) I never knew there was actually a VNC build off the Xorg Modular system. But this only creates the Xvnc application AFAIK. So an install of the other programs from tightvnc is recommended, for example the vncserver script, that provides an easy way to start a Xvnc server This is the same for the patch i think.
