[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] Bug#859141: tigervnc-standalone-server: Wrapper script is unreasonably intolerant of slightly slow or busy systems

[Matthew Gabeler-Lee]

Package: tigervnc-standalone-server
Version: 1.7.0+dfsg-6
Severity: normal

The /usr/bin/tigervncserver wrapper script gives up and kills the server it
just started if it doesn't have its VNC-TCP and X11-unix sockets up and
running within one second.

If a machine is a bit bogged down, this can prevent starting the server at
all, for no good reason.

It seems like 10-60 seconds would be a much more reasonable timeout here.
