We are currently working on a merge with qemu 0.9.1, there is still a lot of work to do, but you should be able to see the results soon enough. > I was hoping you'd do a patch for gtk-vnc but I can add > support for it if you can't. > > gtk-vnc is what's used by virt-manager FWIW. I modified vncviewer first because I am more familiar with its code than with any other vnc client. Of course I can help implement it on gtk-vnc too, I just need some more time. Implementing WMVi support on the client side is very simple if the client is already able to do colour conversions.
