Besides the IPv6-only socket in the beginning, I have had no problems
using vino.  I, too, rely on it for accessing my amd64 machine.  After
the upgrade from 2.16, I didn't have to do anything (besides compile
with IPv4 support) to get vino to recognize my client, and authenticate
me.

My /desktop/gnome/remote_access tree looks like:

alternative_port : 5900
authentication_methods : [vnc]
enabled : TRUE
local_only : FALSE
mailto :
prompt_enabled : FALSE
require_encryption : FALSE
use_alternative_port : FALSE
view_only : FALSE
vnc_password : *ELIDED*
