This is true from a pure RFB-protocol standpoint, but from a port-analysis
perspective there is a difference.

If the viewer connects to a server you have a connection similar to:
VIEWER:(random port) <-> SERVER:(5900 + display)

On the other hand, if the server connectes to the viewer you have a
connection similar to:
VIEWER:5500 <-> SERVER:(random port - or is it 5900 + display?)

Granted, this is most pertinent during the establishment of the initial
connection.
