I used it some versions back but I think the reason I quit was that it 
quit working at some point in the switch to Xorg.  The current version 
seems to be named libvnc.so but I'm not sure if it is fixed and I don't 
have anything later than FC6 to test.  It should just be a matter of 
adding the Load statement in your Xorg.conf and having a password file. 
This advice looks promising:
