I think the point is that VNC users are used to having a single 'Xvnc'
binary they can run, which is a bit like Xvfb but you can connect a VNC
viewer to it.
As far as I can tell, this isn't trivial with x11vnc (but maybe I'm
reading the FAQ incorrectly).
Nothing a small shell script couldn't fix though. Something like:
# cat > /usr/bin/Xvnc <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
DISPLAY="$1"
shift
/usr/bin/Xorg "$1" -config /etc/X11/xvnc.conf -ac -nolisten tcp "$@" &
/usr/bin/x11vnc -display "$1" &
EOF
With the xvnc.conf file appropriately configured to use void and dummy
drivers, and maybe some additional magic for X authority file generation
and error checking. I mean, yeah, X connection authentication is gross,
but it's not some deep unsolveable voodoo.
