Yea, right, as vc is the only user we can easily make this local to 
console.c.  Good idea.  We can even colorize it then ;)

What I was referring to is that updating the window title of the vnc 
client isn't going to work.  Well, at least not that easy.  As Daniel 
points out a extension for that exists, but I'd tend to not depend on a 
optional vnc client feature for this.

cheers,
