Would it not be much nicer if we could have names for our vnc sessions,
rather than numbers. The numbers (:1,:2,...) are just artefacts of the
order the vncservers were run. It would be much nicer if I could get to
a vnc session as ":simon" or ":typesetting"; then the server worries
about which number to give me.

Could we not have a daemon that combines a sort of name server and
vncserver launcher? So when I try to login as ":fred", it checks whether
":fred" is registered, and on what basis. Then it finds the appropriate
vnc session. If there wasn't one loaded, depending on some setups like
max vnc sessions etc, it starts one for me.

Doesn't seem to hard, or am I missing something?
