There was a bug about that in the past, but we rejected changing the default
range. Libvirt and xen and qemu have all used the assumption of starting at
port 5900 for too long, we didn't want to deal with any potential fallout for
something that affects a small number of users, and that nowadays has a manual
workaround.
vino could always be extended to try a little harder/smarter to find a free
port, which libvirt has done for years.
