OK, I was definitely on the wrong track. I am a newbie so I was
thinking in Windows terms.
Thanks,

Display 0 belongs to the console. The first VNC session starts as
display #1 (if not higher), so it's on 5901.
On my system, the control files go in each user's home directory
(~/.vnc/).
The key file is xstartup. Mine is used to start an X session showing the
normal Fedora desktop.
----------------
[root .vnc]# cat xstartup
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & # twm &
exec gnome-session &
-----------------
To get VNCserver working, each user needs to type VNCserver once at a
console session. Users are assigned sessions (and ports/display
numbers) in
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers:
---------------------
# more /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
# The VNCSERVERS variable is a list of display:user pairs.
#
# Uncomment the line below to start a VNC server on display :1 # as my
'myusername' (adjust this to your own). You will also # need to set a
VNC password; run 'man vncpasswd' to see how # to do that.
#
# DO NOT RUN THIS SERVICE if your local area network is
# untrusted! For a secure way of using VNC, see
# <URL:http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html>.
VNCSERVERS="1:sdstern"
------------------
Therefore, when connecting as "sdstern", I connect on port 5901. On
Windows, that means I use "linuxsystem:1" as the address of the remote
computer.
