I guess I agree that its slightly odd to have a configuration parameter
(as opposed to command line flag) that causes a viewer to be spawned. We
certainly don't have a config parameter that forces the equivalent of
'-c'. It does mean that most VT users will have to remember to put '-V'
on the command line, which is why I wouldn't object to retaining the
'vncviewer' configuration option. Let's see if anyone has strong views.

It's clear that we should put the hostip:port number where the
libvncserver is running somewhere into xenstore, so we can query it in
the same ay we do for console ttys.  

[Incidently, does anyone take objection to using '-V'? '-V' is sometimes
used to mean 'version', but I don't think that's a problem.]
