gee! I got it work! Thanks... but one thing... I did a mistake of
configurations and all what I did see was about 8-16 colors... and
that's ugly. And now I can't kill the current viewer - I mean... when I
close it like an any window and do an new connection - the last state is
still there. Someone might say it before that old connection must be
terminated.

The main problem now is:
how to get new VNC-connection, with full colors, that I can able to see
exp. the Desktop from that computer than I'm connecting to? I hope that
you're getting my point.
