Package: xtightvncviewer
Version 1.3.9-6.3

According to the vncviewer(1) manpage, "-user username" is a valid option
for logging in as another user than your current local login. However, when
trying to pass "-user username", an error is given, due to the non-zero
exit code. No useful information is given in the error that would explain
to me what is broken. I suspect other options do not work as well, although
I have not verified.

$ vncviewer -user foo server.example.com
