Hi Simon.
I have a headless mini-itx box that I run as a server. When I want a gui
session I log in over ssh and type the following:
vncserver :1 -geometry 1280x768
I then connect to the box with:
vncviewer zoidberg:1.0
Prior to that I had some horrible default, now I have a window that sits
nicely within my 1440 x 900 display.
