[ale] VNC viewers for linux

[James Taylor]

I'm using the krfd client that is included with KDE3.x, and it's worked
well for me.
I can switch to and from fullscreen, scale the window size and when not
scaled the scroll has worked when I needed it.

I'm fairly disappointed with the vnc viewer I've been using.  It's the
one 
that came with tighvnc, which I think is based on the original vnc
package.  
Here are my complaints: 
1) there doesn't seem to be a way to switch between full screen and not 
fullscreen (that I can find) 
2) When I pop up the "F8 menu", there's no keyboard access. 
3) switchting to full screen has known problems. 
4) I often have 'scrolling problems' when the remote 'screen' is larger
than 
my local one. 
 
Now, I've been using rdesktop for some months to access a windows box 
remotely.   As a client, it seems to work much better than VNC,
suffering 
only the fundamental problem that rdesktop only talks to Windows boxen. 
 
This leads me to ask the question, "are there other vnc viewers for
linux that 
do are better than the standard one?" 
 
VNC projects seem to be "scattered", is there a recommend place to
discuss/ask 
this that will get most of the VNC developer community?  I've got some
other 
ideas/features I'd like to propose....
