We already have the ability to pass multiple flags / options to the VNC driver as a post-fix to the host:port pair, so I'm not a fan of introducing a new option as a prefix. If using existing options syntax, it could look like: -vnc :5500,rev -vnc read.cs.ucla.edu:5500,rev Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
