Not sure if the above would be the actual type transition, since systemd
runs in the init_t domain i believe.

Well other vnc servers also run the in the unconfined_t domain,
however , if i am not mistaken, the other vnc servers are privileged
(located in /usr/sbin/ instead of /usr/bin/) i suspect.

xvnc seems to be for unprivileged use since its in /usr/bin and then
unconfined_t stops making sense.

So i am not sure what the best approach in this case would be
