Nooo... VNC is *DEAD* slow. VNC supports *no* hardware accelleration
(certainly not 3D!!!) Moreover, you need a fiberglass connection if
you want to run VNC even at the speed of a non-accelerated VGA ---
my experiences with VNC are very bad, performancewise. This doesn't
mean that VNC support isn't useful (to the contrary!), but it's
absolutely unsuitable for more-than-very-light graphics work.
Even the makers of VNC don't claim that VNC is good for heavy
graphics.

Try what ? Support full-screen ? Of course we should ---
Working in full-screen mode is what people will usually be doing
anyway (or so I guess), so might as well make it fast !
