Btw it exists project on sourceforge 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/xrfb) which is in planning stage. It 
will be complete linux vnc implementation(server + viewer) which will 
bring best things+ideas from all exists vncs. Everyone who is interested 
in development on this project or have some good ideas could write me mail
