Ok. As I said, I installed it before reading your post.

krfb is like the dark matter. I only know it exists because kde always
take control of port 5900 and sessions of tightvncserver starts at :1.
Cannot find any way to get rid off it.

Changing to x11vnc everything is working fine except for some color
problems, but I think this has more to do with the client side. Gray,
for example, shows as pink!
At first things looked as not working because x11vnc created a "new"
port 5901 and I was trying to connect to 5900. So the old refuse message
from kde.

Thank you very much for your support an patience.
