For now i think it splits to two: - console user wants to share her screen, initiated locally - remote support/administration over network, initiated remotely Former already has a .desktop file in package, so assuming that she knows what she's doing, that's tackled already. My use case was, that I had to give remote support to running host over ssh without local help. So I was a root and had to run it manually with correct options. The biggest trouble was the MIT cookie handling (with -auth switch). Also, this depends on two factors: - user has not logged in, thus the dm cookie must be used. - some user has logged in, the user's own cookie must be used. Finding those cookies from the filesystem took the most of my time and for some new admin it might be a point to ask for help. Cookie location is also dm dependent and I think it would help a lot if there would be some kind of script for this like: /usr/sbin/vnc-share-display [<display num>] which would figure out right options internally and could also take care of authentication/password settings and possibly give example commands to be run at client side to connect to that host (few clients, with and without ssh). IMO this would save countless hours of people's time.
