Change the VNC Server Port on Ubuntu

Currently VNC Server is running on port 5901.

I want to change the port to be around 10000-10100 (in this range).

How can I do that?

I have already tried the suggestions from How can I change the default port of Remote Desktop (VNC)?:

gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/use_alternative_port true
gconftool-2 --set --type=int /desktop/gnome/remote_access/alternative_port 10050

since I want VNCServer to listen on port 10050 — but that doesn't make any change in the functionality.
