vncserver & GDM & Gnome 3.16

After updating to Gnome 3.16 and attempting to start a vncserver session with

vncserver -localhost :1

I get the error:

Warning: asstdir:1 is taken because of /tmp/.X11-unix/X1
Remove this file if there is no X server asstdir:1
A VNC server is already running as :1

It appears that gdm is occupying X0 now and my logged in user is using X1.

Issuing:

vncserver -localhost :2

allows my vncsession to run normally I just need to connect on port 5902 instead of 5901.

Thought I would post this in case it helps anyone, or if I'm just missing something obvious.
