But vncserver creates an X server session. If the concern if for security due 
to the X server (for whatever security reason), then vncserver creates 
exactly the problem one tries to avoid by running runlevel 3. The same 
argument goes for resources (ie. memory). So in a way, you have change the 
runlevel to 5, without actually doing "init 5. Right?
