I realize that, but I thought VNC needed a layer of software underneath it
to produce the graphics that are transmitted over the VNC protocol. It
could be that standard versions of VNC include a minimal X11, but I had
the impression that it was more common to just use what the system offers.
Is this not accurate then?

This is basically what I meant, almost: Orobor_ous_ is a window manager,
while Orobor_OSX_ is an all-in-one package for running rootless X11
alongside Aqua, using Oroborous as the window manager [hence the punning
name] and XDarwin as the display engine.

Half of one, six dozen of the other :)
