Well, ideally, I'd have the default be to check if ~/.vnc/connect and 
~/.vnc/disconnect exist, and if they do, run them when appropriate.  (If 
they don't, do nothing.)  

But $vncUserDir is in vncserver; there's no concept of the users home
directory in Xvnc itself.  So I'd have to either ignore the $vncUserDir 
and hardcode a path, or set up a way for Xvnc to take $vncUserDir as an 
argument, which would require modifying vncserver to supply said argument.
