Yes, each additional user on a host has to consume a port number 5900-5999 for incoming viewer connections, to take X connections on 6000-6099 respectively. A firewall may not be letting your viewer in. Try "netstat -an | grep '\.59[0-9][0-9][^0-9]'" to see users of vnc ports. You can easily get vncserver to use any port, so try a higher one.

OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
[server][::port|:display]
Specifies the VNC server to connect to. The VNC server can be either a hostname, or an IP address. If the server is an IPv6 address,
it must be enclosed by square brackets. The address can optionally be followed by two colons (::) and the VNC port number, or alter-
natively by one colon (:) and the display where Vinagre should run. If a port is not specified, default value of 5900 will be used.
If the value is lower than 1024, 5900 will be added to it. For example, ":0" means "5900" and ":1" means ":5901". If only a port is
specified, but not the hostname, localhost will be assumed. Possible values for the display are between 0 and 1024. If a display
number greater than 1024 is specified, it will be assumed to be a port. Note that you can't specify the port and the display at the
same time.

Example 1: Start vinagre from the command line
example% vinagre
Example 2: Create a new top-level window
