Unfortunately, this puts a LOT of load on the client.. This matters a lot 
with a Palm Pilot or anything limited CPU wise, like that.  Also, in terms 
of bandwidth and memory, it's more efficient if less data is sent.   The 
whole idea of VNC, AFAIK, is a thin client, that does almost thing at all, 
as much as possible, anyway.
