Getting the same result here.  Fresh install of F9 and LTSP v5.  Installed
via 'yum install vnc-server*'.  After installation, tried the instructions
from here:

http://www.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/VNC

This will 'seem' like it's connecting, but then never does.
/var/log/messages shows a connection then a disconnection:

Nov 25 23:17:12 ltsp1 xinetd[3413]: START: xvnc1280 pid=3960
from=::ffff:192.168.3.105
Nov 25 23:17:17 ltsp1 xinetd[3413]: EXIT: xvnc1280 status=1 pid=3960
duration=5(sec)

Followed Peter's instructions above, installed via 'yum install vnc-ltsp*',
and after installation get the grey screen and mouse pointer only.  Again
/var/log/messages shows a connection and disconnection:

Nov 25 23:15:46 ltsp1 xinetd[3413]: START: vnc-1024x768x16 pid=3956
from=::ffff:192.168.3.105
Nov 25 23:16:04 ltsp1 xinetd[3413]: EXIT: vnc-1024x768x16 status=0 pid=3956
duration=18(sec)

Followed instructions here:

Set up a user on their own display port, and this actually works perfectly.
