Hello! Some feedback on the 19 Feb deliverable:

This looks functional now, thanks.

One trouble here: the display/port data field is greyed out when
I'm using Kaboodle to start up a VNC viewer. Some servers (which I do not
have control over) on my LAN may be running on 5901, display 2, or
something else. So I need access to this data field.

Interesting. I need to give this some more thought. If Kaboodle is
used to startup the VNC server, then setting LoopbackOnly in the registry
should be sufficient. If Kaboodle is not controlling the startup of the
VNC server, then any changes to the registry would require a server
restart.I'm not sure Kaboodle can do that...?

Is the registry entry that stores the encrypted password set
with any non world-readable file permissions?

This didn't seem to detect a VNC server on my LAN at startup. I
went thru the "check again" process in the PropTab and it did, however.
Even when I set the server to listen on 5911, the Viewer setup detected
it correctly, and put the right into into the port/display fields. Cool.
However, when a server isn't detected, the only thing in the VNC
PropertyTab should be a "CheckAgain" and "Stop Check" button. Only after a
server is detected should the PropertyTab show the VNC viewer controls.
It's confusing to show those controls if there's no server.
