If this is the Xauthority problem that I think it is, a neater solution is to
add an extra line to the vncserver script - where it stores the magic cookie
for the display "hostname:1", you also need to add the same cookie for display
"hostname/unix:1", i.e. where you have

system("xauth -f $xauthorityFile add $host:$displayNumber . $cookie");

add another line

system("xauth -f $xauthorityFile add $host/unix:$displayNumber . $cookie");

Cheers

Tristan
