2) apparently, although the man page for "vncviewer" doesn't
mention it, you can view to a given port number rather than a

well:
$ vncviewer 192.168.1.100:5
$ vncviewer 192.168.1.100:5905
although as long as there is that 1:1 mapping, there would seem to
be little point using the port number since the display number
would work just as well and is clearly shorter.
You need to verify this with other VNC implementations (TightVNC is
fairly popular). If yoy are correct, you might also report it as a
bug, either it works incorrectly or it's documented incorrectly.
with vncserver running at 5901, here's the results:
$ vncviewer <remote>:1 works
$ vncviewer <remote>:5901 works
$ vncviewer <remote>::1 nope, "Connection refused"
$ vncviewer <remote>::5901 works
should i have expected that? there's nothing in the man page for
vncviewer that remotely suggests a "::" variation. (this is all based
on the stock f8 vnc packages -- no tightvnc tests yet.)
if need be, i can bugzilla this as just a confusing bit of lack of
documentation.

p.s. maybe i'll just RTFS to see how the command-line args are being
parsed.
