Fred, Regarding :6 in the command line you mentioned... That is just an example used by the person writing the wiki. For instance I used the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42941&page=3&highlight=killinitclients written by poster Devi0s.
In it, there is a line referring to the very same thing as the instructions you provided: "/usr/bin/x11vnc -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass -o /tmp/x11vnc.log -forever -bg -rfbport 5900" The 5900 refers to a port that vnc operates on, I imagine the person who wrote the wiki you followed wanted :6 or 5906 to represent his/hers vnc connection. Such as when connecting to a remote desktop vncviewer hostname:6 As it so happens :6 or 5906 can be replaced by 5900 or :0 and you wouldn't even have to type the colon and number after the hostname. Vncviewer hostname --that's it. Also, as mentioned by Thomas, Ctrl+Alt+F7 has nothing to do with vnc and should not be associated with what you are trying to accomplish here. I hope this helps clarify.
