Well, that's what I would have expected, but the client-connection stanzas in that log file don't seem to contain that data, at least not on my machine. > As far as building TigerVNC from source, yeah, it can be a pain.

As it happens, Turbo is apparently going to be bitchy to build on 12.1 as well, as it doesn't include the necessary libjpeg-turbo-devel to provide the headers for cmake. Oops.
