Well, I think a safe-guard in the client is something we want, so I'm
not a fan of that change. Shouldn't be too difficult to make that
configurable using the same system as the server.

Implementing INCR is a good thing, although the old viewer is on its
way out. The new one should already support INCR (via FLTK). Fixing it
in vncconfig is a welcome improvement though.

Lastly, there's the changed default. If this use case is an exception
rather than a rule, can't they just use a different setting? That's why
it's configurable after all.
