There seems to be no way to scroll vnc windows which are larger than the viewer screen size

[Kalman Reti]

Binary package hint: vinagre

I'm running on a machine with a 1920x1200 screen and viewing a vnc server on another machine which is 2880x1800.

In full screen mode I can see the whole remote screen if I turn on scaling, but I can't find any way to do this in window
mode. The text on the screen is small enough that it is sometimes useful to see a pixel-by-pixel view of the bottom
right corner.

I've discovered that returning to windowed mode from the fullscreen scaled mode made a 2880x1800 window and that by holding down alt and clicking, I could drag it around to have different parts of this large window covering the entire screen. However, when I tried to make it smaller by grabbing the bottom right corner and dragging something went haywire with X and/or gnome. Presumably, if I could resize the screen to something that fits within my display, I'd get the scroll bars that I need.
