You could prefix your vncviewer command with 'sudu -u magda', but then
you'd have to make sure that the user launching the command is in
/etc/sudoers with appropriate permissions set.  If you're running
GNOME (or KDE) you could use gksu (or kdesu) to graphically prompt for
a password before running the underlying command.  I don't know how to
use gksu or kdesu, though, so you'll have to read the appropriate man
page.
