Probably getting a little off subject, but just a note that the Option
"LocalHost" makes it only listen on the loopback address(I use port
forwarding with SSH so that the connection is encrypted remotely).

If you just want to connect directly to the vnc port (5999 as configured
above) then just remove or comment the Option "LocalHost".
