Remote VNC on computer bootup (Lucid)

[Steve Malenfant]

Well, I'm just using the standard "vino"  from Preference, Remote Access...
It should work out of the box... It doesn't unless you have access to a
keyboard.

In the "Passwords and Encryption Keys", there is entry for vino.local:5900.
which contains the username and password for the service (or what I think it
is).

I just need this to work work my local network. And I can use it remotely
when I forward some ports after I ssh to my box.
