If your desktop has a vncviewer application, you can use that and point 
it to the portnumber or display number as you say: vncserver:5900.
 
If your desktop has no vncviewer, but it has a browser that can do java, 
you can point your browser to http://vncserver:5800/. If the server-side 
has the java/web/html service enabled, it services a tiny webserver at 
port number 5800 + displaynumber. Here runs a java application that is 
effectively a vncviewer that points to port 5900 + displaynumber.

If you donnot use the browser/java way, you can ommit it from the 
server-side configuration.

For what it is worth, the unix implementation Xvnc is effectively a tiny 
webserver at port 5800 + display. It is an http server to the X11 
installation/run directory. There are some java files there and some 
other files, that are effectively html pages with dedicated tags. You 
can update them, as long as you use the tags.
