It's not clear, what you're doing exactly; are you running "vncviewer 
0.0.0.0:1"? Then :1 is the display number and not your vm-id. Look at 
the output of "$ env" and a line like DISPLAY=:0.0 (then :0 is the 
display number of your desktop-owner).
What do you mean with "windows-box"? When you open a x-terminal like 
xterm, konsole or gterm as a normal user, entering "vncviewer 
127.0.0.1:0" should do it (assuming ifconfig shows a loopback interface
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0).

Gruss,
