	You did see this, right ? :)

	Yes, but I haven't decided when yet. I'm planning on changing Vino
quite substantially to work under this model (i.e. you connect to Vino
through GDM), I don't know when I'll get to that yet and I'm not sure if
I should go and add Vino until that work is done.

	Yeah, there's a patch in the tarball which we'd add to gnome-session
rather than having people use vino-session.

	vino-server does some intense polling of the screen to keep its copy of
the framebuffer up to date. As soon as the DAMAGE extension is in our
Xserver, we'll be using that and this problem will go away.

Cheers,
