As an aside I use the standard vnc client on my thinkpad for
some NT boxes I have to admin - since the server resolution
is the same as the laptop's screen I ended up telling the
windowmanager (pwm) to disable borders around the vnc windows -
when the are running it looks like the laptom _is_ the NT box :)
Out of curiosity, are you planning on using vnc between two
NetBSD boxes? Unless you really want the persistant desktop I'd
be inclined to go with straight X apps for speed :)
