[Debian-handbook-translators] RFH: Update example involving VNC, gdm, and xinetd in section 9.2

[Raphael Hertzog]

Hi,

if you don't get help here, you can might have more luck asking on IRC
or user support channels...

Also if you can get it to work with "lightdm" + "xfce4", instead of "gdm3"
+ "gnome", then it's fine for me as well...

Cheers,
