What do you think?
I don't think vnc should do it. vnc provides proper, decent and relatively save ways to pass the password phrase without having to type the password. Why use expect if there is no need to do so? I'd regard it as a not needed usage of expect. Besides the fact that it is potentially more unsave since the expect way needs an unencrypted password, where the vnc-password-file contains an encrypted one. Then, hackers will first attack expect since they expect to find more passwords in there than with vnc. (just an other reason to not use expect...)
