[Bug 85403] I prefer RealVNC (vnc4)

[Joe Baker]

Here at a small manufacturing firm, we are trying to migrate to Linux.
The remaining Windows desktops have access to a Linux desktop via each
user's own personal VNC Server account on the Linux machines.  I've
found that the RealVNC Server outperforms the TightVNC server in my
experience.  I discovered it when running RealVNC rpms from FedoraCore
on my Mandriva LTSP server.  Since moving to Ubuntu I'm quite happy that
RealVNC Server is integrated into Ubuntu although bug#78282 is
concerning.  I have a Feisty install at home and I can try to see what
could be done to get vnc4server to work on it.

I am in favor of seeing RealVNC moved to becoming the default program
for vncserver and vnviewer.  It's a solid program.  Something to watch
out for though in all the VNC Server products is keymapping.  Test the
numeric keypad, ctrl-z (undo) for proper functions from several vnc
clients.
