In the process of testing the vncserver patch, I noticed that the server
will start up successfully even if an invalid -SecurityTypes argument is
passed.  For instance, specifying

  -SecurityTypes=vnc

will cause Xvnc to start up, but no client will be able to connect,
because no valid authentication type will exist.  A savvy user would
have to read the server log file to figure out what was happening.  This
is the sort of failure that will generate about 1000 of the same
question on support forums.

IMHO, Xvnc should fail if an invalid security type is given as an argument.
