I've roughly scanned over the package
(http://hubbitus.net.ru/rpm/Fedora11/x11vnc/x11vnc-0.9.8-3.fc11.src.rpm ) and
before I do a complete review please fix the following issues:

- lots of rpmlint errors:
* README/AUTHORS not UTF-8, please convert them in the %prep section via iconv
(please make sure to preserve the timestamp, e.g. by using "touch -c -r
old_file"
* wrong permissions of some of the *.c files, please change the permission to
644 in the %prep section

- the indentation seems to be broken - just open the file with vim or gedit

- please delete the commented Packager: and Vendor: tags, it should be
sufficient to add to your first changelog entry that this spec file is based on
a version from Dag Wieers <dag@...>

- delete the old non-Fedora changelog entries

- correct the Source: line
* use Source0 for the primary source file
* for sf.net please use something like this:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/libvncserver/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
* see also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL for details
* verify via "spectool -g x11vnc.spec" whether the sources can be downloaded
using the provided URL

- does not build in rawhide:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1484978 - probably a
missing build requirement since X11/extensions/XInput.h can't be found

- check for spelling mistakes in the comments ;-) ("pathc")

- the source as well as the built package contain some java clients:
* only the server components are mentioned in the %description
* if the clients should be shipped, then put them into separate sub-package
* it is not allowed to use the pre-built JARs
* preferably the pre-built JARs should not even be shipped in the sources (see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java for details)

- "Requires: minilzo" is wrong, since there is no package "minilzo". Since
x11vnc is linked against libminilzo.so.0, the dependency should be
automatically added to the binary rpm:
rpm --requires -qp ~rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/x11vnc-0.9.8-3.fc10.i386.rpm |grep lzo
libminilzo.so.0  

- would it be an option to use the system's libvncserver library instead of the
internal one? (--use-system-libvncserver

- when you upload a new version, please also provide also a link to the spec
file - this makes it easier to just have a quick look at it
