Glad to hear this development from KDE! Thanks for notifying me: I will look into it. I understand xmove -- a mysterious program from the early 90s, mentioned on this list some time ago -- is unmaintained, stale, and has bugs. Is there an alternative with similar capabilities? I think a nice version of an xmove-style program would be cleaner and lighter than VNC, eh?
