I've never seen client immediate disconnect. Could be that client and
the Xen serer don't agree on options.
What client are you using ? I'm using vncviewer-4.1.2nb2
On the server I use
vnc = 1
vncdisplay = 0
vncunused = 0
vncpasswd=""
vnclisten='127.0.0.1'

(and use a ssh tunnel to connect, as the server only listent on localhost).

This reminds me: if you're using a tunnel (or the client directly on the
server), really use 127.0.0.1 and not localhost: with localhost it'll
try to connect to [::1] and won't fall back to ipv4.
This may be the problem you're seeing.
