Bug Description

Beta Testing Hardy I realised that tsclient is no longer the default vnc client. The new Remote Desktop VNC viewer allows for bookmarks which is an improvement but does not allow the "F8 Menu" (to send special keys and change options for mouse and keyboard) or scaling (to be able to control a 1024x768 screen from a 800x600 screen without having to touch a scrollbar). Please recommend these changes before Hardy's final release. Also including xtightvncviewer to hardy would be a good idea (that will stop tsclient from having VNC greyed out by default).

I agree. I don't think the Vinagre VNC client is up to snuff yet.

FYI you can get VNC back up and running in tsclient by installing xvnc4viewer.

"sudo apt-get install xvnc4viewer"

Have yet to see a scalling vnc client in Ubuntu... that would be nice.
