VNC development plan - discuss

[Adam Tkac]

Hi all,

I did thinking about next development on vnc bits. Fedora 7 has three 
vnc servers - GNOME's vino, KDE's krfb and headless Xvnc with module to 
X. I'm not sure that we really need three different vnc servers in 
distribution. krfb and vino are very simillar. Both of these export real 
display. I think we could try substitute this two servers by one - for 
example x11vnc (http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/). x11vnc has more 
features than actual "real desktop" servers. So two programs could be 
removed and one added => cost of maintaining and bugfixing could be 
lower. In next stage we could discuss about standardized RFB protocol 
library which could be used by all vnc servers in distro. In the end we 
could have one rfb library which will be used by all servers (and 
viewers), one real server, one virtual server and X module. What do you 
think about this idea?
