Thank you, pine64nutz !
I was not aware of vnc4server...  I have been trying (depserately) to get tightvncserver running on debian from the repos, and tightvncserver is (supposed) to work like vnc4server, but is seriously broken on debian; at least from the respos.
Anyway, vnc4server (Xvnc4) works great !,  again, thank you.
There is a baby bug if attaching from the mac (screen sharing) client. If the mouse cursor is 'inside' the xterminal frame then typing into the terminal will lock the interface !  Closing the vncviewer session and starting over unlocks...  so, the mouse cursor must be riding at the top of the terminal window but not resting inside it !

edit: PS I have only had the locking issue using twm (tiny window manager).

My gnu+linux vncviewer clients worked fine with Xvnc4 (vnc4server) as did the ssh tunnel and encrypted channel.
