Nice job.. Improves VNC interactivity nicely..
I use xtightvncviewer with the -bgr option to cut down network bandwidth quite a bit. This generates 
funky colours with the current patch but works with the old implementation.

I'll take a look when I get the chance..
Also I can't access the monitor (which I can with the other vnc patch) ... again, when I get a chance.

I need to look at the protocol and see if there is a way to instruct the client to change its size 
on the fly also.. at the moment booting win2k I have three different client sizes and need to 
close/reopen the client for each change.

Nice work. The optimisations to the qemu portion speed up the display refreshes significantly.
