FWIW, VNC is fantastically expensive, CPU-wise, during the time of a VNC
connection (toally aside from whatever may be going on with xemacs or any
other applications).

Also, as I understand it, VNC merely passes through what's on the monitor.
So, there is _always_ a "screen", regardless of whether there is a VNC
connection or not. Indeed, from the point of view of the application, VNC
is not a consideration. You have a monitor <period> (and it's the one
xemacs is using).

So, from xemacs' perspective, it has a screen - the normal monitor, whether
you have a VNC connection, or not.

Don't confuse this with other products that give you a separate login or
otherwise allow you to start a login independent of the monitor, e.g., ms
Term server, perhaps Citrix, etc.
