[vbox-dev] API - Start VM in headless mode with VRDE disabled?

Right, the API currently starts the VM with enabled VRDE server and 
ignored the VM setting.

I think as a workaround you can disable VRDE after starting the VM:
IVRDEServer::Enabled(FALSE);

This works for a running VM and will drop any existing client connections.

Best regards,
Vitali.
