/me cowers in fear at the thought of a thousand mouse cursors all fighting
over a textbox widget. :)

The VNC server still needs some debugging and tweaking. It looks like the
'tight' encoding has a bug that will randomly crash the VNC client. It was
having problems with getting very slow when more than a few clients were
connected, but those might have been fixed. The primary limitation is my
bandwidth- navi.picogui.org is my mail server, sitting in my dorm room on
the college's LAN. It has pretty good bandwidth, but VNC is also quite a 
bandwidth hog.

I was planning on improving the demo, though probably after 0.44 is
released. It should have a longer "intro to picogui" text, and demo more
widgets. It would also be nice to show real picogui apps in action, but
most of those would be a security hazard. (I'm already running the demo
under its own user, but I'm paranoid...) I was planning on setting up
a User Mode Linux to act as a sandbox for the demo environment.

Another nice feature would be to have the option of joining an existing
demo environment, or creating a private demo server. I could probably do
this with some CGI scripting on navi, but I try to avoid web-stuff
usually :)
