Xvnc does support the -pn option. I just tested it and it works fine. Thanks
for pointing it out, I think this is probably the best way to run VNC. You may
get better performance running the VNC client on the same host if you had a
socket, but I'll take the performance hit over mucking with permissions or
changing the code.
