This was meant to be a commit against the forked repo for personal review and merge, but since that bridge has been crossed, here we are.

This branch adds support for a minimal X11 image to be used as a VNC terminal. It's proven helpful for our internal development, where we wanted a sidecar X11 VNC server + noVNC webclient to run simulations with a debugging view in a kubernetes cluster. Having a fully featured DE in a container was a slight security concern, and we were worried about accidentally encouraging users to use the container as a VM-esque workspace.
