well the newest version is 1.0.1. I would try running it as a service but fast user switching is a big pain.. I discourage my clients to even use it..:)

you can use Fast User Switch with UltraVNC server

you can't use winvnc as service system
you need only use winvnc as user application
winvnc -multi

=
winvnc 5900 (for 1st Fast User Switch aka John)
winvnc +1 = 5901 (for 2nd session Fast User Switch aka Suzy)
winvnc +1 = 5902 (for 3rd session Fast User Switch aka Paul)

remember,
you can't control locked user screen if their password !
for access Ctrl+Alt+Delete, you need to go to taskbar, right click and select Task Manager

this is the same fix that realvnc has provided.

If I disable the service then I can't see the Startup-Screen of WinXP where I select the username, right? So I've to autologin a user?

I don't want to try it myself, because if something goes wrong and I've no access to VNC anymore than I can't use my PC anymore. Because I've no monitor anymore and I'm using my iMac with VNC as a PC-Monitor ;-)
