Hmm, the things you describe here sound like something different than 
what I thought you were going to implement :)

I thought the new feature was about resizing the framebuffer just before 
it is sent to the client. This would allow the server to use a 
high-resolution framebuffer, which gets scaled down before transmission 
to clients that can't handle it, while still allowing clients that can 
use the high resolution to receive such a framebuffer.

But what you describe is (I think) letting the client set a different 
framebuffer size for the remote desktop on the server, right?
