VNCviewer for X

Run it and give the display as an argument:

vncviewer snoopy:2

Run with the -h argument to see the other options. The important ones are as follows:

-shared

When you make a connection to a VNC server, all other existing connections are normally closed.  This option requests that they be left open, allowing you to share the desktop with someone already using it.

-display Xdisplay

This allows you to specify the X display on which the VNCviewer window should appear.

-passwd password-file

If you are on a filesystem which gives you access to the password file used by the server, you can specify it here to avoid typing it in.
