hmmmm ... not really, but you can see how vncserver thinks. port 5906
is currently listening; therefore, display :6 is assumed to be
running, even though you *clearly* specified display :5 above.
The vncserver command is just a perl script. If you take a look at
the script itself you will see that specifying ":5" is just used to
calculate the port number, it has no significance beyond that. Since
you manually specified a port number, the ":5" is basically ignored.
I take part of that back. It does appear to also be used for the
naming of the log file.
and (from memory), it's also used for the numbering of the associated
58xx and 60xx ports, so that the trifecta of 58xx/59xx/60xx port
numbers don't need to match in those last two digits. or so i recall.
i can verify that later.
