Issue with 4.1.1 vs. 4.0

[B. Scott Smith]

As a follow-up to my last post, I have isolated the issue down to the 
following code in rfb_win32/SDisplay.cxx that was added since 4.0:

      // Try to make session zero the console session
      if (!inConsoleSession())
        setConsoleSession();

This code prevents the VNC Server that is running in "User mode" from 
accepting a connection if it is running within an RDP Session, and not 
at the console. Assuming that this logic is not desired when running in 
User mode, I modified all 3 instances of "if (!inConsoleSession())", and 
replaced them with "if (isServiceProcess() && !inConsoleSession())".
This seems to have addressed my issue, and it is working again. I'm 
hoping this won't break something else, so please let me know if this 
change is not appropriate.

Thanks.
