It looks to me like it could be a problem with Xvnc not being able to read the fonts that xmms is using. If you've got a font server (xfs) running on your linux box you could try doing:
xset fp= tcp/localhost:7100 This tells Xvnc to use the font server instead. Other people have reported that this has fixed similar issues before.
