Thank you. The only time X Windows runs is when you manually run it.
It's installed but the firewall runs in runlevel 3 until you manually
run vncserver. The reason that I chose to include X Windows in it is
that some people may be administering the firewall ruleset from a
Windows machine. The Windows version of Firewall Builder is a "for pay"
application. This allows someone from a Windows machine to administer
it without having to pay for the Windows Firewall Builder application.
I, too, would prefer not to have X Windows loaded. It's an un-needed
waste of space except for that one application.
