TightVNC cannot attach to an existing X11 server.  RealVNC 4.x and 
x11vnc both have this capacity, but TightVNC requires you to start its 
own server.  Further, TightVNC on linux does not have a GUI, besides a 
very simple text entry box on the viewer to input the address and 
password.  I have absolutely no idea where you would 'enable Remote 
Desktop'.
