Since we're on the subject of VNC servers, its a good time to bring up the
question of virtualization. With Xen in the mix there are actually 2 further
VNC server implementations in Fedora...
- Xen para-virtualized guest console server
- QEMU / KVM / Xen fully-virtualized guest console server
.....
The caveat is that AFAIK, Fedora doesn't have any VNC viewer program that
supports encryption aside from SSH tunnelling - not a huge problem since
virt-manager has an embedded GTK VNC widget which can do the job, but it
would be nice to have a standalone viewer for virtual machine consoles.
So if we're thinking of long term Fedora VNC development plans, we should
make sure encryption / authentication is on the list for both client &
server.

Here is an actual command line I use regularly to properly bring up a
remote VNC viewer securely through VNC:
ssh -p 6603 -f -L 7763:localhost:6063 adm3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx '
vncserver -kill :164 ; vncserver :164 -localhost -name v40 ; sleep 5
' ; sleep 5 ; vncviewer localhost::7763
An average joe six pack user will probably never be able to grasp, let
alone remember and type such a command, just to bring up a remote viewer.
I'm sure simplification/integration of some sort would be welcome by
many users.
