Yes, I want to see the same desktop (the 0 desktop) with multiple clients. I have tried the clients "-shared" option, and it has no effect.
It's true that it's intent seems to only want to support one client at a time, but it should be tweakable (its linux, not microsoft for goodness sake! :) )
Thank you for your reply Grant,
I may want to submit something to kde bugs, but I thought maybe someone here might know if there was a way to work around this????
I saw x0rfbserver and didn't really play with it a whole lot, I may need to, because I could recompile it how I want that way.
If anyone knows how to work around this in krfb (i.e. take a look at the variable in kinetd_krfb.desktop, and see if you can make sense of it), please let me know
Thanks

Do you mean you want multiple clients viewing the same desktop, or you want
multiple virtual desktops? In the former case, it appears that the only way
is to use the client program's shared display option. You can, if you want,
submit an enhancement request to bugs.kde.org; however, it is unlikely to be
implemented as the intent of krfb is to provide quick & easy one-on-one
sharing for helping somebody with a problem (much like the desktop sharing in
Windows XP).
In the latter case, however, you are probably using the wrong program. krfb -
and its cousin, x0rfbserver - convert the current display ("desktop") to a
VNC server. In theory, this means one could run additional "real" X servers
if the system supports it (as Linux does), or a virtual server such as Xvfb
or Xvnc, and then export that display using krfb or x0rfbserver.
In practice, however, this sort of thing is usually better achieved by using
Xvnc and connecting directly to it (krfb and x0rfbserver - the "converters" -
are less efficient than a native Xvnc display).
