Fred,
You can avoid the effects of things like blinky cursors simply by
minimising the viewer. That should prevent the viewer from requesting
further display updates until it is restored.
Cheers,
Hi, James,
Thanks...that's handy to know. It's certainly easier than rearranging the apps on the remote desktop. Still easy to forget, though, if you're staring at one of several viewers at full screen and it looks quiet. In fact, very easy to forget in general (I find, from experience...you just walk away for a glass of water, decide to look up a a book while returning, and you come back to the computer hours later). This kind of thing is just perfect for automation. Especially if you have to minimize several VNC viewers at full screen (so the bar at the bottom isn't visible and needs to be popped up, and it's crowded with apps). Maybe VNC viewer can just look at the state of the screen blanking (or screen saver) to decide whether to ask for updates? As I said, your solution is the best so far. Thanks.
