The Vino package was installed on my installation by
default, but I am unable to connect to the CentOS 4 server
from a client machine running Ubuntu Hoary (gnome 2.10).
The  is rejected. Tried vncviewer using hostname:0 per
documentation. So, I am now wondering what else needs to be
done to enable remote connects to succeed. I did configure
the "remote desktop" settings per discussion in the thread.

I would just use the standard Xvnc and hostname:1, which is
working, but when I login via vncviewer I am unable to do
any root configuration via gnome. In other distros, I have
not had this problem. I run my file server without a
monitor, so I need full access to root settings from gnome
just like I have when logged in non-root using a monitor
and keyboard.
