This is probably why I haven't tried it yet. From what I understand, 
this will allow me to VNC directly to the dom0, but what if the server 
doesn't have X installed (and I can't / don't want to install X?)
So, how do I set it up so that the VNC listener will work directly with 
the windows2003 domU ?
