Ferindo, The fact that the viewer is showing the desktop window but is then closing suggests that you are able to connect to the server, but that the server is then closing the connection again, so you may want to look at the server's log (in your .vnc directory) to see why it is doing so.
Are you using the standard VNC server for GNU/Linux, or the one bundled with Fedora?
