Here's another update.

First:  It's running as a service and i have it configured
in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers and i can connect on the loopback.

Here's something that just happened in the past couple minutes.  In
tightvnc (vista) if i just put in the ip and not :5902 it works, also if
i just put in the display number it works.  If i sent you the ip,could
you try to connect?
