vnc binds incrementally to ports as you start more vnc server sessions
on the server.  So, a vnc address usually looks like
hostname:<integer>

in krdc, all I had to do to connect to a vnc session on a server of
mine was: "hostname:1"  No protocol specifier.

on unix systems, :0 is usually reserved if you want to run something
like a vnc terminal server.  for windows systems, :0 is the default.
