Daisuke's patch only applies to VBoxHeadless. There are no modifications in
VBoxManage (shouldn't be very complicated to put the VNC options there too,
though).

You can launch several VM with embedded VNC servers provided that you use
different binding IP addresses or ports. You'll want to use the "-p,
-vncport, --vncport <port>" option to do that. The default port is 5900, but
you can use the following ones (supposedly up to 5906) or any port you want.
With the VNC client I mentioned, you can use a syntax like IP:port to
specify a non standard port.

Best regards,

Hubert
