Well first my line has [2].  I changed that to [1] and tried all sorts 
of variants to the above, including putting a - infront of InTransports 
(like other options), and replacing the = with a space.  No listening on 
IPv6.

I have foudn the RealVNC support mailing list and sent a question there, 
hopefully to get answers.  But if anyone has anything to suggest here, 
please do.
