** Description changed:

  Summarising from
  https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/novnc/+question/271057
  
  utils/launch.sh (present in the novnc source package) is a fairly
  essential part of this application.  Without it a user really needs to
  know how to start up websockify manually, and all the documentation I
  found online, simply says start utils/launch.sh
  
- Simply extracting the file, isn't enough, as it assumes a websockify is
- in the same (utils) folder, so applying this diff, makes it work
- perfectly with the existing novnc package.
+ Simply extracting the file, isn't enough, as it assumes a websockify
+ executable is in the same folder as the script.  Applying this diff,
+ changes the call to make the call as long as websockify is on the path,
+ this makes it work perfectly happily along with the existing websockify
+ package (wherein the websockify executable is installed into /usr/bin).
