The viewer is indeed a standalone program, and does not need to be compiled against an X tree. However, if you you a TightVNC viewer against a RealVNC server, or a RealVNC viewer against a TightVNC server, I think it's true that you won't get as efficient a connection as if you stick to one source. TightVNC provides the 'tight' encoding, which RealVNC does not have support for. Conversely, RealVNC provides the 'ZRLE' encoding, which (as far as I know) TightVNC does not have support for. RealVNC also allows colour-reduction in a different way than TightVNC (I think I'm right in recalling that TightVNC has a way of doing this). Tim. */
