So... You're running xvncserver, and a normal X server, and then you're
running xvncviewer to connect to the xvncserver?

DUDE!

You need either x0rfb or 'KDE Desktop Sharing', which is based on the same
code. There's a fairly desktop agnostic GNOME one coming soon too (the KDE
is somewhat tied to KDE, but it's way cool and nicely integrated). These
share your normal X server via rfb (the VNC protocol).
