Note that VNCThing does have a slightly annoying bug when viewing
Xvnc servers. -Dragging often does not work.
[Got anywhere with that yet Dair?]


An alternative is VNCDimension:
http://www.mdimension.com/Community/

It has its own "little foibles" (like minimising the window, or hiding
the app tends to lose your connection, as well as a bug when opening
a second client that is smaller than the first -it then only redraws
the section of the first up to the size of the second...), so it's
really up to you which is best for your needs.

That's if you want to view the OS X desktop (which you probably do...)

But if you don't need that (i.e. you don't need to run OS X specific apps),
the standard Xvnc can be compiled under OS X (I presume it still works
with 10.1), and that will then give you a 'normal' X11 desktop.


Hope that helps!
