I concur with other posters who have suggested this be made a "legitimate"
feature of VNC.  Kenny's humorous comment does bring up a good point,
though.  What if you must access a system and no one is there to say "OK".
I have two thoughts on the subject: 1) A registry value in the server that
disables the feature entirely (for unattended machines), and 2) a
viewer-side override that will create a server-side log entry indicating
that permission was requested, but [presumably] having not gotten answer
was overridden.  Regarding option 1, a checkbox could be provided on the
server configuration screen to toggle the registry value.
