You don't understand what I want to do, maybe my english is too bad for 
that :).
I havn't access to my computer at work, only by the ssh and I want to start 
the remote server to access my computer with a vnc client. So I can't start 
the kcontrol center to start and configure krfb, I just want to know is there 
a way to config and start it on a shell.

So another question, I use two screen without xinerama, I start the remote 
server and with a vnc client I can't connect to the server, maybe it can't 
found the right display. any help ? (vnc://host:0:port doesn't work).
