What is the advantage of inetd?  Is it that it creates a new VNC session 
if none exists?  Does it work in the ordinary VNC way if the VNC session 
is already running?

I just skip the inetd business and start VNC from an SSH prompt command 
line.  Once it is running, I connect in the usual VNC way.  I've had one 
session running for 500 days on a Solaris box.  It was ultimately 
interrupted by a power failure.

By the way, autocutsel is helpful for use with VNC and I recommend it.
