But I don't want an entire VNC server running; partly for the reason you
give above, and partly because it will slow the RPC down. All I want is
a remote keyboard, and maybe a remote mouse. In this case, "maybe" has
more to do with whether the apps happen to support it; I have neither a
strong need for remote mouse, nor a strong feeling against using the
facility if it's there. Let's just concentrate on the remote keyboard
aspect.
