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).

Apple pulled a number out of the air for the protocol version. With RealVNC 4, it is close enough to the real number that the viewer picks the wrong encoding. I also believe there are other incompatibilities, but you will have to look at the RealVNC list for more details.
I believe people have had some success with the Windows version of VNCViewer 4.1.2, which has an option to force it to use the older 3.3 protocol. I don't know if 4.0 for Linux implemented this option.
