The error message means that the tunnel is working, but there's no socket 
listening on port 5901 on the server. Did you start RFBServer the way

You should do everything the same way you did before, except for setting 
up the ssh tunnel and connecting to 127.0.0.1:5901 instead of to the box 
in your VNC client.

Your VNC client should show the Squeak desktop. There's no X11 server 
involved there.
