Very simple configuration:

Add the rc.vnc script to /etc/rc.d

Modify user according to the user running aMule.
The rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X11 is there in case the server crashes or your mother/wife removes the power plug cleaning the room... ;-)

--------Start of rc.vnc--------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup/Stop script for vncserver.
#

case "$1" in

'start')
rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X1
/bin/su - user -c "PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin /usr/bin/vncserver :1"
;;

'stop')
/bin/su - user -c "PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin /usr/bin/vncserver -kill :1"
;;

*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/rc.vnc { start | stop }"
;;

esac
--------End of rc.vnc--------

Modify the following files:

In /etc/rc.d/rc.local add:

# Start VNC server
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.vnc ]; then
. /etc/rc.d/rc.vnc start
fi

In /etc/rc.d/rc.6 add:

# Shut down the VNC server
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.vnc ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.vnc stop
fi

In ~/.vnc/xstartup (in home dir of the user specified above) add (change with your preferred startup script):
