Restart the window manager and not lose any of the work we were in
the middle of.
Typically, it would be the following commands in an xterm or
similar:
openbox& (though this could be other WMs as well)
disown
exit

I am not opposed to reverting, as long as the -fg switch is
kept. A user could get the same behavior by doing vncserver -fg
&.
Just to throw my 2 cents in as well... I would prefer
this behavior be reverted as well. I know it will end up
causing us problems if for no other reason than window
managers crash and we don't want everything else in our
session to be taken down with them....

I'm quite reserved about this behavior, I would rather not kill the
Xvnc when WM exits.
Default .vnc/xstartup (generated by vncserver) file has following
lines:
...
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
So WM is actually successfully started but patched vncserver kills Xvnc
immediately.
In my opinion vast majority of VNC users start WM on the background
(with the "&" character in the end of the script) and this change will
break all existing configurations.
In my opinion this change should be reverted.

-- vncserver will no longer prompt user to create a VNC password if VNC
auth is not used
-- TLS support incorporated into Windows Visual C++ 32-bit build, so it
isn't necessary to use a separate installer for TLS support (note: Win64
support for TLS is still not there, because GnuTLS does not yet work
cleanly with the LLP64 data model.)
Enjoy!
