I just started using RealVNC 4.0b4 as a result of installing Fedora Core 1.
Before that, I was using "TightVNC viewer version 1.2.2 (based on VNC
3.3.3r2)" that came with older RedHat versions.  (I like to use pre-built
rpm's as much as possible.)  I don't know the relationship between those two
versions, if any.

But the TightVNC version of vncviewer supported both -name and -title options
to control the resource/window name and window title, respectively.  Those
options are absent from the RealVNC 4.0b4 version.  I used those options to
control the geometry and some other properties of the viewer, and so my
window manager would know what to do special with each different invocation
of vncviewer.  Is there anything comparable in the RealVNC version of
vncviewer?

So far the only thing I've come up with the works (somewhat) is to make a
copy of the vncviewer binary and use a binary editor to change the instance
of the vncviewer string, changing it to the resource name that I want, and
then execute the copied version.  Not very elegant, to be sure.  And it only
affects the resource name, and not the window name or window title.  So, my
window manager picks up on the new resource name, and acts appropriately.
But the visible title is wrong, and vncviewer still doesn't acquire the
geometry from X11 resources, so it has to be specified on the command line
(which entails replicating a bunch of complexity for dealing with various
resolutions and screens on multi-screen displays, which had been only in
resources.)

Maybe it's hopeless.  ldd shows that the RealVNC version of vncviewer doesn't
use libXt.
