Hmm, the "Computer Settings..." dialog in the "ScreenSharing" part of
"System Preferences" has a toggle for "VNC viewers may control screen
with password" , and the help for screen sharing also specifically
says that the screen sharing is compatible with VNC. Sounds like a
claim of such compatibility to me?

Of course they don't *guarantee* that all details will work fine, but
then, what software does guarantee anything...

I just bought my first Mac a couple of days ago, I am very new in
attempting to use VNC to it, I will find out whether it in the end is
a good idea or not later...

Anyway, thanks for the hints, I guess if I want to make the keys work
better I need to hack on it then; would whatever patches are needed be
acceptable in TigerVNC upstream? Obviously with proper runtime checks
whether the target is a Mac, hmm, I don't know if the viewer can know
that, but I will find out;)
