Upstream changed the syntax in the config files for this, but there is
supposed to be back-compatability support for the old syntax in there.
You should file a bug about this not working.

Anyway, old syntax was

   vnc=1

And one or more of

   vnclisten=1
   vncunused=1
   vncdisplay=4
   vncpassword=xxxxx

Now, it uses 

  vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncunsed=1,vncdisplay=5,vncpassword=xxxxx' ]

So you may also wish to try updating the configs
