Hi,

I've been using the VNC (3.3.3r7) product for a couple of months so that I 
can control a WinNT4.0 box in the server room from my desktop (Win2k).  For 
me I notice that there are many times that the screen does not get entirely 
refreshed.  If I may interject a couple of enhancement requests, I think 
that for me these would solve things.

a) Around the cursor continue to refresh the screen (as currently) but 
center the box on the cursor instead of anchoring it at the upper-right 
corner.  Allowing the box to be configurable in size would also be nice.

b) Every x seconds of quiescent user input - do a whole screen 
refresh.  this way those of us that use this product on a local LAN will 
have a current screen.  With x=0 this feature ought to be disabled to 
prevent unwanted network traffic.

Thanks - VNC is a fantastic product at an unbelievable price.  Thanks to 
all those who have spent long hours making this happen.
