[plug] Remote desktop question

[Chris Griffin]

Hmmmm, I basically did this, except I used display 2. I can now bring up the
vnc session on 5902 but not 5900. When I try 5900 (I downloaded the latest
vncviewer just in case) it now actually gives me the error saying "unable to
connect to host: Connection refused (10061)"
Any ideas?
