Have a look at:
http://sourceforge.net/p/tigervnc/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/java/com/tigervnc/vncviewer/README.
To be honest, I'm not sure where this file would end up for a Windows
install (I'll have to look to make sure it's even being bundled with the
application). On Linux it would get installed to the standard doc location
(eg: /usr/share/doc/tigervnc-server-applet-1.3.80/README). This file has
information regarding running the viewer as an embedded applet vs. as a
standalone application.

When I originally created this viewer it was only intended to be run as a
standalone application or as an RIA deployed via Java WebStart. Serving it
as an applet "worked" in the sense that the client was delivered via the
browser, but it still behaved as a standalone application with it's own
top-level window. The ability to run it as an embedded applet (like most
traditional java-based VNC viewers) was only added in about six months ago
and would not be present in 1.3.1. You'll have to use the latest nightly
build (http://www.tigervnc.org/tiger.nightly) to get that feature.

Again, this is all a consequence of the older version not really supporting
embedded applet mode. Please take a look at the README that I pointed you
to and give that a shot. I'd be interested to hear how it goes, as I've
gotten little or no feedback about this feature.
