In this step, you set-up a tunnel. When you start-up ssh in tunnel-mode, it will just run in tunnel-mode, providing no additional output.
After this step, you can start:
vncviewer 127.0.0.1::5901
to get a connection.
Note that the 5901 is the port number that you used to set-up your tunnel. The syntax for gvncviewer is different; the part in the command-line after the : there is used to specify the display, not the port number as far as I can tell (I don't use gvncviewer)
