* remove old mouse patch code, now use rfbSetCursor (+ workarounds)
* changed cursor shape options (no more -mouse, ...) to '-cursor mode'
where 'mode' can be empty "X", "some", or "most". "some" adds
heuristics for two more cursors.
* -nocursorshape added.
* ifdef checks for XSHM and XTEST. Add *_wr wrappers as well.
* -vncconnect is now the default.
2004-08-15 Karl Runge <runge@karlrunge.com>

wrapping of XGetImage, etc for -overlay

subwin desktop name crash.
2004-08-03 Karl Runge <runge@karlrunge.com>

* fix bug wrt no got_keyboard_input under modtweak
2004-07-10 Karl Runge <runge@karlrunge.com>
* -norepeat to turn off X server autorepeat when clients exist,
(this is workaround for the repeating keystroke bug. Note that
client side does autorepeating so not a big loss).

* extend -allow to re-read a file with allowed IP addresses.
* improvements to -help text.
2004-07-01 Karl Runge <runge@karlrunge.com>

2004-06-28 Karl Runge <runge@karlrunge.com>
* round scaled width to multiple of 4 to make vncviewer happy.

* add no blending option (-scale fraction:nb)
2004-06-26 Karl Runge <runge@karlrunge.com>

or otherwise decide to accept an incoming client.

* enable mouse button -> keystrokes mapping in -buttonmap (mousewheel)
* enable keystroke -> mouse button mapping in -remap (touchpad paste)
(-remap incompat ':' -> '-', sorry...)
* shm OS blacklist (i.e. <= SunOS 5.8) -> -onetile
* revert to check_user_input() under -nofb
* cleanup: lastmod, remove tile_shm and update_client_pointer,
debug output, rfbPort failure.
* user friendly last line: 'The VNC desktop is hostname:0'
2004-04-28 Karl Runge <runge@karlrunge.com>
* -auth cmdline option for xauthority.

increase it to a huge value unless -rfbwait is supplied.
2004-04-08 Karl Runge <runge@karlrunge.com>
* added support for blacking out regions of the screen, primarily
for Xinerama usage, options: -blackout -xinerama
* Xinerama workaround mouse problem on 'embedded' system,
option -xwarppointer (XWarpPointer instead of XTEST)
* let -remap option take key remappings on cmdline as well as file.
* use cargs fix to test for invalid cmdline options. Add --option.

even holds PRIMARY which Xvnc does not do. disable with -nosel.

From Karl (x11vnc's father) on Apr 2, 2003:
New option -nocursor to not display the vncviewer local cursor if user
does not want it (also caused some problems with older vncviewers)
New option -mouse to show the position of the X server mouse (i.e. lagged
from the user's vnc cursor position). Also: -mouseX will try to show
the a different cursor (X) when on the root background.
New option -many to wait for more connections rather than exiting when
the first client(s) disconnect.
New option -flashcmap to try to follow installed colormaps under 8bpp
indexed color as pointer is moved.
New option -nap to watch for low activity and throttle down the polling
rate. Useful on shared machines to keep the load down.
Experimental option -id <windowid> to show just that window and not
the whole display. Some remaining bugs and inconvenient behavior...
(e.g. new toplevels can be unseen)
Fixed bug on multi-headed machines where the screen number was being
ignored in a number of places.
Fixed bug wrt connect_once mode. Now just refuses new clients unless
shared rather than terminating all clients.
Try to follow changing default colormap under 8bpp indexed color
as color cells are added.
Needed to pick up HAVE_LIBPTHREAD from autoconf.
defined a select() macro for usleep() since usleep is not always thread
safe.
Catch and exit on errors in the shm setup work (XShmCreateImage, shmget,...)
and moved the creation and removal work to separate utility functions.
Added signal and X error handlers to try to clean out the shm objects
before exiting on interrupt, etc.
Improved performance a bit on the memcmp() in scan_display() by checking
the whole line first.
Added a workaround when threaded where libvncserver may disconnect too
early if it does not hear from a client (a small heartbeat is sent).
This may not be needed any longer.
If -desktop has not been prescribed, try to choose a title based on DISPLAY
and the hostname (and window name under -id).
