Best use the inetd setup as described on 
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp.

Advantages:
- no stale vnc-sessions occupying memory and other resources
- no user-specific setup, users login with their unix account

disadvantage:
- no re-entrant sessions
- web-interface needs its own webserver on the vnc-server machine
