Using Xvnc from xdm

[Oliver Hemming]

Andre,
This is something that we also would like to do; if I understood correctly, the
-sock option is something you've added (I couldn't see such an option for Xvnc).
If so, could you (or anybody else who has done the same thing) let me know the
mods you made.

TIA
Oliver
