I start my tigervnc with `/usr/bin/vncserver :1 -localhost yes`.
`:1` will start the server on port 5901 for a new X11 display 1, to not
conflict with the existing default X11 display 0.
Check `-rfbport` in `man vncserver`: 'The default is 5900 plus the
display number display#.'
I run with `-localhost yes` to start listening only on localhost as I
tunnel vnc connections over ssh for security.
