Andrew,
Do the VNC developer know about this problem?
It really is a pain, and we are now switching to PC anywhere just because
of that fact.
I can't imagine that it would be that hard for them to fix.

It was me. Look for my name when looking for the details/

The trick is that we need to let the SCM know that we are shutting down
(STOP_PENDING), and simply ignore that. The SCM will kill us as the last
thing it does. The VNC SC handler must be cognizant of the state of the
machine - we don't want to unnecessarily make the box take longer than
necessary on the way down.

The other thing to do is to put in some service dependencies, but on a
default system, this doesn't really help if we're a leaf node of the
dependency graph.
