If it is a server it should run 24/7 If you want to run VNC server on your desktop
then you can put something like

Code:
exec vncserver
into your .xsession.

You could probable run it as a local daemon by editing rc.local.

TightVNC uses C, C++, and Java. You can imagine how secure is Java code.
On another hand you can enhance security by SSH tunneling and using SSL.
It kind of defeats purposes because you could as well run remote X clients on
your local X server with ssh -Y

For client side if you must use VNC I strongly recommend you to use SSVNC.

The only claim to fame of VNC is portability but even that is very questionable.
There are many more far more suitable protocols for desktop virtualization like
Ericom Blaze, OpenNX, Citrix, RDP...

What do you actually want to accomplish?
