Hi Ben,

Thanks for the welcome :)

My problem doesn't seem to be related to the semaphore issue and more
likely reflects my noob status. I'm up and running now though. I was
afraid of having to run xpra or something since it would eat server
memory, but thankfully RFBServer seems to work fine now.

Best,
-Kumar
