Progress made. In the end I had to get IPv4 addressing working, as VNC only understands IPv4.
I am connecting over the crossover cable to the headless system via vnc, but the screen just shows the little action box on the upper left and nothing else.
I have edited the service file and added the geometry line option and reloaded the deamons. No change.
I edited the xstartup file as I always do to exec gnome, but nope.
I am missing something here. Obviously...
any tips are greatly appreciated.

As far as the $USER/.vnc/xstartup I've never edited it to start gnome, it just does it by default. I suppose you can try deleting the file and have it recreated the next time the server is started.
FWIW, I do edit $USER/.vnc/xstartup to change the lines with
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
to
exec /home/user/.xinitrc
and I create a /home/user/.xinitrc containing
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde
to give me a KDE desktop.

Below is the xstartup file that I use. I changed it to use xfce since there were some gnome processes that were using very high cpu percentages. The original values of the xinitrc and twm are commented.
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: unset SESSION_MANAGER unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS exec /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc # X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey #vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & startxfce4 & #twm &
