[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] New version of VNC viewer available plus source code

A new version of my VNC viewer port is available, version 0.3.  Since 
releasing 0.1, I've released a 0.1.1 and a 0.2 release, but this is the 
first release for which source code is available.

Relevant user level information can be found at 
http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=887&page=1 .  
The source code package can be found at 
http://www.aracnet.com/~alevinsn/vncviewer_0.3.tar.gz .

The code is fairly extensively commented, and some developers may find
these comments helpful.  Techniques that are demonstrated in the code
include:

-- Displaying a dialog on top of the main window right after the 
application starts (such that it looks right)
-- Using input methods
-- Turning on/off toolbars and scrollbars with or without full screen 
enabled
-- Using the hardware movement keys for dual functionality:  pressing once 
sends key, holding down scrolls the screen
-- Forcing the input method's window to display with the click of a
toolbar button

Please note that I haven't really started on the localization effort, and 
the relevant files in the po directory are unchanged from the maemopad 
files that I started from.
