tightvncserver on edgy

[Thomas Gutzler]

Thanks for that.
I still can't get tightvncserver to run but vnc4server does after 
editing the wrapper and symlinking /usr/share/fonts/X11 to 
/usr/share/X11/fonts. Even though both directories existed and did 
contain fonts, deleting one and replacing it by a symlink seems to have 
changed things. I didn't compare the directories but I believe one was a 
leftover from dapper.
Still strange..
