can i ask the group what the purpose of this is for?  perhaps some useful real world examples would help.  i'm hopefully going to try to get into some phone dev this year so i'm trying to learn more about things people are doing with their phones.  i see the purpose of vnc from a phone to more complex device.  but what i don't see is how you can fit a linux based desktop into the space of a phone's display and still have it be useful.  vnc doesn't reformat or package the desktop in a manner that is more conducive to the phone display right?  which means you'd be scrolling all over the place to do anything.

thanks
