remote desktop open multiple times in nested windows

[Alex K. Angelopoulos]

VNC is working the way one would expect here, Casper. It tries to show the 
desktop in the remote session. As soon as it opens, it has to render itself 
within itself. So your actual console window then shows a desktop window 
containing a viewer window. So the viewer window has to show a desktop 
containing a viewer window containing a viewer window... and so on. It's a 
classic hall of mirrors effect.
