Bug Description

On Ubuntu 7.04, with xtightvncviewer 1.2.9, I read the man page for information about the -fullscreen option. On Fedora, I can press F8 to make full screen mode stop, but this doesn't seem to work on Ubuntu. This might be to do with needing version 1.3.9.

The real reason for my bug report is that this package (xtightvncviewer) should include the README file, becuase it is referred to int he man page. But this file is missing.

Cheers
JP

Reported in 2008, still a problem 4 years after.

The file in question is readily available from the website, in the source archive:

Go to this website: http://www.tightvnc.com/download-old.php
Download and extract this file: http://www.tightvnc.com/download/1.3.10/tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.bz2
Add this file to the package, since the package is incomplete and undocumented without it: vnc_unixsrc/vncviewer/README
