Thanks Peter/Mikael for looking into it and confirming it works on your
system. I found the problem was that I had

    alias vncserver='\vncserver -localhost -nolisten tcp'

in my .zshrc. The completer didn't know about -nolisten option, and so
was refusing to complete anything else for me.

I guess this is because the Xvnc options were missing from the
completer. I added them, and am attaching them to this message (diff
-u),

Thanks again,

GI
