          Might be better to enhance the plugin with screenshot functionality, so that while the build is running you can grab screenshots (if you are an authorized user; can define a new permission for it). That would allow you to run the plugin securely and avoids the need to have X protocol access to the slave.

          If for "screenshots" you intend "videos" then it answers my needs but introduces an overhead that may no be acceptable. In my case I needed to see the application running because the glitch that caused the build to fail showed just for a moment.

          Was preparing a fix for this when I realized it is unnecessary: just change the Command line in global settings for the plugin to vncserver :$DISPLAY_NUMBER. (The -localhost -nolisten tcp is only part of the default command line, if you have not customized it.)
