I have never gotten vncserver (TightVNC version) to display the remote
desktop of a running Linux box. It will display a remote windows box, and it
will create a new display on the remote box, but not display the user's
running desktop.
I have been told that the beta version of RealVNC vncserver will do this,
but it requires a recompile of XFree with some patch, so I'm not up for that
when x0frbserver does a good job.
Anyway, that's my experience.
