For the viewer, try the Terminal Server Client instead
(Applications|Internet|Terminal Server Client). You can change the
screen geometry using the settings under the 'Display' tab.

It should be installed by default, but if not:

sudo apt-get install tsclient

In order to use VNC from the TSC you will need to install an VNC viewer
client (the default Vinagre doesn't work with TSC). You can try
xvnc4viewer, xtightvncviewer:

sudo apt-get install xvnc4viewer xtightvncviewer

To change the 5900 port that Ubuntu uses: System|Preferences|Remote
Desktop|Advanced|Network|Use an alternative port.
