Maybe VNC viewer can just look at the state of the screen

The easiest way to achieve that effect would be to configure a "blank"
screen saver. Note that that's not the same thing as powering the
monitor off - it actually needs to black out the screen entirely.
If you do that, then there are no changes for VNC to send, so it won't
send any! :)
From yoru earlier post, it sounds as though you'd like the viewer to
only request updates while it is in the foreground. Is that the case?
Cheers,
Thanks, James. That seems to be a good
alternative to minimizing the viewer (I will see
if TightVNC behaves this way, since that's
what I happen to be using).
And yes, I do flip back and forth between
several fullscreen vncviewers, so the screen
will often not go blank. It would still be nice
to have the viewer automatically stop
requesting updates if it hasn't been given
any events recently. This may be because
it doesn't have focus, because it is not in
the foreground, or because the user simply
hasn't done anything.
I guess I'm trying to present it as a wish
list item.
