I've added the VNC dissector some days ago, in the main purpose to see VNC in the protocol column.

It is in a very very early state, only dissecting the first version field(s). The protocol is a state oriented TCP protocol, so conversation stuff must be included.

It will also only work for the first port usually used (5901 as I remember), but VNC can run on different ports as well (e.g. for different resolutions). So we might need a preference setting for the TCP port used or add some heuristics.
