[K12OSN] Remote client desktop

[Peter Scheie]

Robert,
Do you need Xvnc launched via inetd or xinetd?  Your message said xinetd, but 
the link to my notes that you gave references inetd.  I've also got info on 
making it launch via xinetd.  Presumably, it should be xinetd since this would 
run on the server, right?  Let me know and I'll tackle getting it working on F11 
this summer.
