I have been using vncviewer in f16 without any problems - the way I
use it is to set up an ssh tunnel forwarding a local port at the
client end to the usual 5900 port at the vnc-server end.

So I run the ssh tunnel in one terminal window and then run the
vncviewer command as below in a separate terminal window.
The local client call is then using a different localhost port which
gets forwarded to the tunnel using:

vncviewer -passwd /path/to/password-file localhost:55900

Of course I have previously used vnc to generate the password file
which is shared between the server and client machines. Here the local
port if 55900 which gets forwarded to the normal 5900 port at the
server end.. The server is set up to run vnc-server with the password
file defined to match that of the client which calls in.

This has worked without any problems at all in f16 (x86_64)
