Bug Description

Binary package hint: vinagre

Upgraded to Hardy 8.04b, the new VNC client would be great if it allowed window scaling (eg. controlling a 1024x768 on a 800x600 screen without having to scroll around). The people at RealVNC got this right. Let's bring that feature onto Ubuntu.

I just found these two that may be similar:

Emilio says that the feature is "too late in the cycle to add". In that case I would recommend to leave tsclient + xtightvncviewer as the default VNC client until this fix/update is released. No use in putting out an LTS release with a crummy half working app. If you say that it isn't a half working app, look at this bug:
