[plug] rfb - VNC for pre-existing displays

[Ryan]

Just stumbled [1] upon this program.  I know ages ago people asking
about connecting VNC to an existing X session.  Well that's what this
does.

If you can login to your X workstation via SSH etc and issue: 

DISPLAY=:0 x0rfbserver

.. then you can then connect to it with any standard VNC viewer.

It seems remarkably slow compared to standard VNC, but it does fill a
unique need, and works.

Anywhoo, I found it interesting :)

[1] ahh, the wonders of random mistakes while searching for stuff with
apt-cache.
