Tim,
  I discovered there were 3 vncservers running already using :[123]
  displays.  killing them off seems to have fixed things.

Starting from a fresh login at console then startx.

>From xterm:
  $ ps wwaux|grep vnc
  reader   11520  0.0  0.0   1616   448 pts/9    R+   08:05   0:00 grep vnc

vncserver
  $ vncserver

  New 'reader.local.net0:1 (reader)' desktop is reader.local.net0:1

  Starting applications specified in /home/reader/.vnc/xstartup
  Log file is /home/reader/.vnc/reader.local.net0:1.log

So all seems well.  I didn't apply the patch.

One thing still seems sort of wrong though.
cat /etc/sysconfig/vncservers:
   [...]
   # VNCSERVERS="2:myusername"
   VNCSERVERS="2:reader"
   # VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 800x600"

Shouldn't that server have started on :2 display?
I expected :1 to be open because of this setting in
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers
