Hi,

I'm now running tightvnc-server.  Although it needs X, it doesn't need
to be running, which is exactly what I need.  I'm starting a localhost
only vnc session with no window manager and the only program is OOo.  
Hopefully this presents no security issues -- it is running on a web
server.

thanks
Damon
