It won't help for system startup, but you can add the x0vncserver command (backgrounded with &) from .xsession to run after login. This would run as your uid and with X environment variables intact so no faffing with XAUTHORITY needed. (I would recommend listening to localhost only and connecting via ssh port-forwarding; for unix VNC clients "-via $hostname localhost" runs the ssh command for you). -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
