Hello,

I am really fine with just using a regular VNC client outside of the
browser, if I could just start the machines with the --vnc --vncport XYZ
option from the webinterface. An integrated VNC viewer sounds very
nice but as you say, like a larger undertaking that will take some time
of course. But if the API doesn't support starting the virtual machines
with vnc enabled, we will have to wait for that. In that case I will
probably rig something myself to start the machines with vnc
support enabled when needed until then - it is only needed during
OS installation after all.

Thank you

Thomas
