   	Actually, I have just been informed that that's not necessary:   
   it's just a matter of editing /etc/tigervnc/vncserver-config-defaults and   
   adding the line   
      
   	listen=tcp   
      
   which I have experimentally confirmed to be correct. It would be nice if   
   this could be documented more prominently (or at all) but, at the very   
   least, the capability is there.
