With the source code, a shell script is provided that will do the setup of LD_LIBRARY_PATH properly (kvncviewer.sh).
Also, a config file for the "launchpad" application on Kindle is provided which makes use of the shell script.

You can pass parameters to the executable, most notably a password.

Allows to specify a password for password based authentification. Note that this might show up in process lists of your device. Typically, for ebook readers this should be of great concern, since no other users will be on the "machine" at the same time.
