It works, but you have to be connecting to a server that supports JPEG encoding. The built-in VNC server in OS X doesn't, for instance, so you're probably actually using Hextile or ZRLE. Thus, the titlebar reflects what you requested, not necessarily what you got. The Java viewer (and I think the Windows viewer as well) will show you the "most recent encoding" in their Connection Info dialogs, which tells you whether the server is honoring your request or not. Unfortunately, there's not a very straightforward way to make the GUI reflect what the server is actually sending you, because it is perfectly legal for the VNC server to ignore all of your requested encodings if it doesn't support them, and it's also perfectly legal for it to send each framebuffer update using a different encoding. However, in reality, VNC servers don't change encodings that frequently, so it seems like it would be reasonable to have the titlebar reflect the most recent encoding used, rather than what was requested.
