Yes, thank you. Works like a charm.

And, compared to what other methods I found, it is actually not *that*
complicated. I mean, it would be nice for newbies, to have a
click-and-go GUI for that, but adding a few lines is OK to me.

And I really like having a VNC connection even if the login screen is
shown.

Would be nice, yeah.

You got me wrong, here, I guess.
The Readme mentions (as far as I understood) another way to activate
VNC via xorg, and therefore says to use /etc/vnc.conf

I was wondering what vnc4-common should be used for, if I used that
way. That could be the reason why it is no dependency. Maybe.

Yes. I am going to put this way into the german ubuntuusers.de-wiki as
soon as I got time, would be nice if someone could put it into the
english ones (ubuntu etc.)


Thanks again for your help and knowledge.
