been using xvnc4viewer for years, but it's missing from focal.  anyone know
what's up with that?

xvnc4viewer works well and has a simple clean window.  remmina works well
but i don't see how to get rid of it's useless toolbar.  xtightvncviewer is
slow.  others yet to try.

xvnc4viewer?

Is this not good enough:

https://www.explainshell.com/explain/1/xvnc4viewer

-geometry geometry
       Standard X position and sizing specification.

The most light-weight VNC client/viewer I have seen is: SDLvncviewer.
I mean, it is one file and it leverages libvnc. Here:
https://libvnc.github.io/doc/html/_s_d_lvncviewer_8c-example.html

I use it all the time, and have been for a long time. I do have some issues
with KeySyms (some keyboard actions do not come across well) but that did
not bother me enough to modify the code and make it work.

The libvnc code is really amazing. I use it to forward real X displays
that have Xorf nVidia modules (propriatery binary) for acceleration. It
is fast and robust. I cannot praise it enough.

indeed that's one of the features i've enjoyed in xvnc4viewer.  where might
i look for insight as to why xvnc4viewer was removed from ubuntu focal?

that doesn't appear 2b in the ubuntu focal repo's either...not that i never
use stuff that's not in the repos, just if what's there works well, then
that'll be what i'll go with usually.

Here is the solution I had emailed gregrwm in private. I thought others
should be able to see it. See below.

Hi

I'd like to request the removal of vnc4 source package.
The reason is that it has been a transitional package

Best regards
