#70152: vnc @4.1.3 misleading description
------------------------+--------------------
 Reporter:  ianroberts  |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal      |  Milestone:
Component:  ports       |    Version:
 Keywords:              |       Port:  vnc
------------------------+--------------------
 The Portfile for the vnc port describes itself thus:

 > Creates a virtual X11 windowing environment that can be viewed not only
 on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and
 from a wide variety of machine architectures.

 This is not true - the package provides only the VNC ''viewer'', not the
 Xvnc server suggested by the phrase "virtual X11 windowing environment".
 A better description would be something like

 > X11-based client for connecting to remote desktops using the VNC
 protocol.
