Do an 'rpm -ql vnc' (or vnc-server). On my system, I get:

[1190] > rpm -ql vnc
/usr/bin/vncviewer
/usr/share/applications/vncviewer.desktop
/usr/share/doc/vnc-4.1.2
/usr/share/doc/vnc-4.1.2/LICENCE.txt
/usr/share/doc/vnc-4.1.2/README
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/vnc.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/vnc.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/vnc.png
/usr/share/man/man1/vncviewer.1.gz
jimb@Insp6400 03/09/08 10:25PM:~
[1191] > rpm -ql vnc-server
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers
/usr/bin/Xvnc
/usr/bin/vncconfig
/usr/bin/vncpasswd
/usr/bin/vncserver
/usr/bin/x0vncserver
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so
/usr/share/man/man1/Xvnc.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/vncconfig.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/vncpasswd.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/vncserver.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/x0vncserver.1.gz
/usr/share/vnc
/usr/share/vnc/classes
/usr/share/vnc/classes/index.vnc
/usr/share/vnc/classes/logo150x150.gif
/usr/share/vnc/classes/vncviewer.jar

From this, you see that vncviewer is in /usr/bin/vncviewer, and vncserver is a 
service, started with (as root) 'service vncserver start'. For the server, 
look at /etc/sysconfig/vncservers, and modify the lines at the bottom to 
automatically spawn a server under your user account, and with the specified 
desktop geometry. Then you can use (as root) 'chkconfig vncserver on' to 
start the service automatically at boot time. And you should look at 
~/.vnc/xstartup, which controls what desktop software is running in the vnc 
window. (eg - if the last line is 'startkde &', you get kde. Look at the man 
pages in the rpm listings above.)

You might also look at Gnome's vino server, which does something similar.
