Update x11vnc to 0.9.9.
New in the 0.9.9 x11vnc release: A new option -findauth runs the FINDDISPLAY script that applies heuristics to try to determine the correct XAUTHORITY file. The use of '-auth guess' will use the XAUTHORITY that -findauth reveals. This can be handy in with the lastest GDM where the ability to store cookies in ~/.Xauthority has been removed. If x11vnc is running as root (e.g. inetd or XDM/GDM/KDM) the FD_XDM=1 mode will be tried if the above -findauth or '-auth guess' command fails; it will find the correct XAUTHORITY for the given display (this works for XDM/GDM/KDM if the login greeter panel is up or if someone has already logged into an X session.) You can also set -env FD_XDM=1 to force it to be done on the first try. The -unixpw_system_greeter option, when used in combined unixpw and XDMCP FINDCREATEDISPLAY mode (e.g. -xdmsvc), enables the user to press Escape to jump directly to the XDM/GDM/KDM login greeter screen. This way the user avoids entering his unix password twice at X session creation time. For subseqent logins to the same session, he uses the regular x11vnc unixpw "login:" prompt. Also, the unixpw login panel now has a short help displayed if the user presses 'F1' that lists the options. The -appshare option enables simple application sharing based on the -id/-sid mechanism. Every new toplevel window that the application creates induces a new viewer window via a reverse connection. The -id/-sid and -connect options are required. Run 'x11vnc -appshare -help' for more info. Heuristics are applied to try to determine if the X display is currently in a Display Manager Greeter Login panel (e.g. GDM.) If so, x11vnc's creation of any windows and use of XFIXES are delayed. This is to try to avoid x11vnc being killed after the user logs in if the GDM KillInitClients=true is in effect. So one no longer needs to set KillInitClients=false in gdm.conf. Note that in recent GDM the KillInitClients option has been removed. Also delayed is the use of the XFIXES cursor fetching functionality; this avoids an Xorg bug that causes Xorg to crash right after the user logs in. x11vnc now tries to be more aggressive in keeping up with VNC client's framebuffer update requests. Some broken VNC clients continuously spray these requests at VNC servers (regardless of whether they have received any updates or not.) The -extra_fbur option allows one to fine tune the setting. The "-display WAIT:cmd=...", -find, -create modes now work correctly for the user-supplied login program scheme "-unixpw_cmd ...", as long as the login program supports running commands specified in the environment variable "RFB_UNIXPW_CMD_RUN" as the logged-in user. The mode "-unixpw_nis ..." has also been made more consistent. The username option "tag=..." can be used to set FD_TAG. The -stunnel option (like -ssl but uses stunnel as an external helper program) now works with the -ssl "SAVE" and "TMP" special certificate names. The -sslverify and -sslCRL options now work correctly in -stunnel mode. Single port HTTPS connections are also supported for this mode. The remote control command -R can be used to instruct x11vnc to resend its most recent copy of the Clipboard, Primary, or Cutbuffer selections: "x11vnc -R resend_clipboard", "x11vnc -R resend_primary", and "x11vnc -R resend_cutbuffer". miscellaneous new features and changes: The fonts in the GUI (-gui) can now by set via environment variables, e.g. -env X11VNC_FONT_BOLD='Helvetica -16 bold' and -env X11VNC_FONT_FIXED='Courier -14'. The value of the -timeout option is now also used for the timing out of reverse connections. The -timeout exit will occur if no client has made it to normal operating state (instead of merely trying to connect.) One can add extra URL parameters to the HTTPS (-ssl) urls via X11VNC_EXTRA_HTTPS_PARAMS without needing to edit index.vnc. E.g.: -env X11VNC_EXTRA_HTTPS_PARAMS='?GET=1' One can make the libvncserver HTTP (non-SSL) server listen on localhost: -env X11VNC_HTTP_LISTEN_LOCALHOST=1 (this way only the single-port VNC+HTTPS is exposed to the network.) Warnings are printed out at startup if $DISPLAY appears to start with "localhost:" (SSH X11 forwarding) or "hostname:" (remote X display; will fail w/o -noshm) The -solid option now uses the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS env. var if available. The -solid option now works in xfce. If available, the dbus_launch(1) will be used in FINDCREATEDISPLAY for gnome sessions. The bcx_xattach remote control command was added to facilitate xattach and x2x desktop cursor switching. Other new remote control commands: grab_state, ping:mystring, grablocal, resend_cutbuffer, resend_clipboard, resend_primary, keycode, keysym, fakebuttonevent, ptr, sleep, get_xprop, set_xprop, wininfo, pointer_pos, mouse_xy, noop, guess_dbus, DIRECT:query. Remote control scripting, -query_retries, and -remote_prefix were also added. In -rawfb mode the X display will not be opened at all unless the -rawfb string is prefixed with '+' or -display was specified on the cmdline. For multiple, separate x11vnc instances on the same X display, one can rename the X11VNC_REMOTE, X11VNC_TICKER, and VNC_CONNECT property names to unique ones. The -showrfbauth option prints out the VNC rfbauth password. The XDAMAGE mechanism is now automatically disabled for a period of time if a game or screensaver generates too many XDAMAGE rectangles per second. This avoids the X11 event queue from soaking up too much memory. x11vnc does not switch on server autorepeat if any keys are pressed down to work around a recent Xorg server and/or gnome bug where the key will never stop repeating. Thse list of current clients is kept more up-to-date in the tkx11vnc gui. Bugs in the gui setpass mode have been fixed. Threads stability is further improved. See under the -threads option help info about -env X11VNC_THREADS_NEW_FB_SLEEP=ms There is an experimental workaround: "-env X11VNC_WATCH_DX_DY=1" that tries to avoid problems with poorly constructed menu themes that place the initial position of the mouse cursor inside a menu item's active zone. The crypt(3) function is now declared inside the x11vnc code on all platforms (not just Linux). To disable this, set CPPFLAGS='-DDO_NOT_DECLARE_CRYPT' while configuring. (crypt is declared to avoid problems with header files.) Error reasons are printed for -storepasswd failures. Two scripts are added to x11vnc/misc: connect_switch and ultravnc_repeater.pl
