Vino is a VNC server that exports the contents of your running X session.
To allow users on machines without a local vncviewer installed to connect
to a running session, Vino and Xvnc both offer an option to listen on a
TCP port for an http connection to which they respond with an html page
embedding a Java applet client. (They both offer up the same .jar files
from the RealVNC project for this applet.)
The previous case (2007/391) simply provided a shell script that ran
java -jar /usr/share/gnome/vino/vino-client.jar to allow use of this
applet as a standalone vncviewer. This case replaces that with a
compiled C application which will more closely match what most other
platforms ship as /usr/bin/vncviewer.

No.
