rdp seems to support some similar (though they don't look identical)
features through replaceUser/multiUser.

« The replaceUser attribute is a boolean deciding whether multiple
simultaneous connections to the VM are permitted. The multiUser attribute
is a boolean deciding whether the existing connection must be dropped and a
new connection must be established by the VRDP server, when a new client
connects in single connection mode. »

I'm wondering if we should try to use similar attributes for both rdp and
vnc for more consistency?
