Hello!
I think that vnc is a great idea. I have installed and played a little
with it on Linux 2.0.33/libc 5.4.44/XFree 3.3.1 system. Works OK. Few
problem/suggestions:
1) It looks like Xvnc doesn't support .pcf.gz fonts, only .Z compressed.
It's a pity for Linux users (one should recompress all zillion fonts) and
at least should be mentioned in docs.
2) Option -kill for vncserver script to gracefully shutdown previously
started server would be nice.
3) It looks like netscape doesn't close sockets properly when moving away
from the page with vnc client. This prevents restart of server with the
same display number.
4) Support for non-latin (say, cyrillic) keyboards is certainly broken,
but I didn't investigate this in details.
Regards,
Vladimir Eltsov
