Do we need some description of what happens if the remote Pi does not have a connected display and you try to connect with VNC? So people have more indication they need to use virtual mode?

I've added a description of what happens in this case - not sure if a more prominent warning is needed - this seems to trip up quite a few folk on the forums.

Also, please don't integrate this one yet - I'm going look at the proposed changes in #1628, and I think an image of the VNC desktop icon would be useful so folk know what to look for. I will take the WIP tag off once I've done this.

Quite often on the forums, users will have trouble enabling VNC when there is no display attached to the Pi. Address this by improving the VNC documentation, and take the opportunity to make some other minor improvements as well.
