This looks like your X clients are having connections refused at the TCP
level, rather than being an X authority problem. Are you sure the server is
running as display :1 (this would mean listening for connections from X
clients on TCP port 6001)? I notice that your X.log gives the RFB port as
5901 (consistent with display number 1) but the HTTP port as 5800 (consistent
with display number 0) - this seems a bit odd.
