You are correct, I think what Stefano is thinking of is when IanJ
implemented the xl vncviewer command. There is no support in xl (that I
can see) for setting "vncconsole=1" in the domain configuration file and
having that autospawn vncviewer on create. Patches for this feature
would be very welcome.
