I experienced teh verry same problem. I found a version of VNC that 
works flawlessly under YDL2.x though:

Summary     : VNC the Virtual Network Computing
Description :
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote
display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop'
environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from
anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine 
architectures.

I found it on fr.rpmfind.net. In case it is not there any more, I could 
make it available for download if neccessary.
