Hi.
I though I might forward a question of mine that got no response on the mailing list:
Another thing I thought would be fun to try on my new Mini Mac: I'm logging into GNOME on my FC3 box via XDMCP (on the Fedora host) and 'X -broadcast' (on the Mac.) This actually works rather well. One problem, though: Full root window redraws are very slow. This leads to annoying delays on greeter display, login and also when the logout icon is selected (because of the display "gray-out" operation, I guess.)
Any advice?
BTW, it seems to me that that X is faster than VNC for *most other* operations...

Actually, the problem could be that the connection just isn't fast enough for smooth image data display; I'm using an 11Mb wireless link, which I now think is quite a bit slower in real terms even than 10Mb UTP Ethernet. However, the operation is just as slow with a plain-colour background as it is when using an image. Does this mean that raw pixel data is sent to the display even in the former mode? Why?
