Nice idea. However, I like other stuff in there. Can it become more
configurable?
The viewer should use the line it gets from the vncserver for default and
only the remote display name for the icon/startmenu text. Then, it might be
usefull to have an option to overrule the remote text. Optionally provide
some 'variables' to indicate the remote side:
@@ the @ character
@display@ the remote display
@user@ the remote user
@title@ the title as provided by the vncserver
@encoding@ the actually used encoding
@geometry@ the vncserver geometry
@depth@ the vncserver colordepth
... add other vncviewer internal values that are nice to know,
between @@ pairs.
Detail, should not use any of ${}% characters since they are used in system
variables.
Xvnc should obey the '-desktop "name"' option it has and not add stuff to
that. Vncserver on M$Windows should have the same option and obey that too.
The default can be the same as Xvnc has now: "@user@'s destkop (@display@)"
