Thanks for the comments. Naturally they brought me to the next plateau of 
ignorance.

Could you elaborate a bit here? What do you put in rc.local? Is a VNC 
password used? Is there an implicit or explicit user at that stage? (It 
sounds as though you connect to a login screen, which is what I would 
want.

When I use the xinetd approach I just get a "dumb" X-session (tiled
window, cursor, no apps running - not even the xdm login). I haven't
figured out how to get any other response at that point.

TIA.
