Hi Vitali,

While this is a workaround, I'd like to request that a method to start
a headless server with VRDP disabled be added. If not as a new session
type, maybe injecting an environment variable that VBoxHeadless would
check may do. E.g.

machine->launchVMProcess($session, 'headless', 'VBOX_VRDE_DISABLED=1');

Just a thought. Thank you for your time.
