If you start with "vnc=1" and "vncviewer=1", "xm create" should start a
vncviewer automatically. I believe you can also use "vncviwer
localhost:5900" or some such, but I'm not sure [I use SDL most of the
time, and when I don't, I use "vncviewer=1", so getting VNC afterwards
isn't something I do regularly]. 

Also, if you haven't set "vnc=1" in the guest configuration, there's
nothing to connect to on the guest, so VNC won't work in this situation.
