Ah I see. Well that should work. It's obviously connecting since you get the dot.
I've had similar issues with TightVNC before. It sits for ages saying it is doing the initial screen draw, but never connects.
I'd suggest trying RealVNC (realvnc.com).

However, I'm getting along just swimmingly with the TightVND included in OpenSUSE.
