Ubuntu with Xvnc to :1 with no window manager at :0

[Mike Miller]

By the way, I had no reply to this message except for the response from 
Linda Hawksworth of RealVNC Customer Support, but that turned out to have 
been a mistake (she didn't realize it was a list message and thought it 
was a support request) and she could not help me.

So if anyone here knows about this...
