Vncviewer won't start

I found the problem, or should I say, a previous writer pointed me to the
right place. when I started my vncserver :1 -geometry and so on, created the
session under root, so when I tried to vncviewer, I had to use I think
the -u parameter, to log on under root. Yep, I know  I shouldn't(work under
root that is) but it's my home system, so I take some chances

If by 'the logon prompt' you mean the VNC dialog box asking you for a
password, I expect that you typed in the wrong password.
Unfortunately there is no 'wrong password' dialog box (I think that's
in bugzilla).

Check .xsession-errors.
