The cdrom= lines had no effect for me, I think they're obsolete now or 
something, instead I have a disk line that looks like this;
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sys_vg/windows_os,ioemu:hda,w', 
'file:/vserver/images/domains/winxp/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]

Do you not have to set vncviewer to 1 to get it create the window for 
you?  I personally used SDL instead (sdl=1).  You also say your domain 
is 17, I think when I experimented with VNC I found it to create the 
listening port on something like 4017 or whatever.  I used netstat -l to 
find out what port it was actually on.
Ben, lastly, could you check your /var/log/xen folder for error 
messages, specifically check the most recent qemu log.
Thanks,

Ryan.
