On Fedora/RHEL clones I like to configure vnc thus:
[summer@potoroo ~]$ tail /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
# Use "-nohttpd" to prevent web-based VNC clients connecting.
# Use "-localhost" to prevent remote VNC clients connecting except when
# doing so through a secure tunnel. See the "-via" option in the
# `man vncviewer' manual page.
VNCSERVERS="66:root 3:summer"
VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1280x1024"
VNCSERVERARGS[66]="-geometry 1280x1024"
[summer@potoroo ~]$ tail /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
# Use "-nohttpd" to prevent web-based VNC clients connecting.
# Use "-localhost" to prevent remote VNC clients connecting except when
# doing so through a secure tunnel. See the "-via" option in the
# `man vncviewer' manual page.
VNCSERVERS="66:root 3:summer"
VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1280x1024"
VNCSERVERARGS[66]="-geometry 1280x1024"
<<
Does the above VNCSERVERS declaration mean to limit the number of vncservers to be 66... can it be increased if yes, how much beyond?

Here are some things to play with once you have it up.
1.
killall twm
The window decorations vanish
2.
startkde
Play with kde for a while, then logout
3.
gnome-session
play with that for a while, then logout
4.
kwin&
kicker&
5.
killall kwin
twm&
Note that when you don't have an active window manager, focus follows
the mouse cursor.
6.
vncserver -kill :1

On Debian, I use this approach:
[summer@potoroo ~]$ tail /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
# Use "-nohttpd" to prevent web-based VNC clients connecting.
# Use "-localhost" to prevent remote VNC clients connecting except when
# doing so through a secure tunnel. See the "-via" option in the
# `man vncviewer' manual page.
VNCSERVERS="66:root 3:summer"
VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1280x1024"
VNCSERVERARGS[66]="-geometry 1280x1024"
[summer@potoroo ~]$
summer@mail:~$ cat /etc/init.d/vnc
#!/bin/bash
# If no config, do nothing
#set -x
[ -f /etc/vncserver.conf ] || exit 0
function cfg()
{

}
