I can use the Remote Desktop under Windows XP to display the desktop of
a particular Windows machine. I thought that I could install xvncviewer
on my (much-preferred) Debian box and run "xvncviewer windows-host-name"
and it would be similar. But xvncviewer says "Connection refused."

What am I missing? The man page was lacking and a
/usr/share/doc/xvnc4viewer/README.Debian was absent.

You either need vncserver installed on the Windows desktop,
or you need to use rdesktop instead of xvncviewer on the Linux box.
