I decided to try using Vino after having used VNC/TightVNC for some time to connect to additional desktops. My goal was to be able to control my main desktop (:0). Either way, I'm tunneling over ssh. For the most part, it works great, except that I have a new problem that I never had before with the VNC/TightVNC servers: random repeating characters. These seem to appear during brief moments of latency (I'm running remotely over the internet). No matter how carefully I type, a single "e" might turn into "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". Editing is also a pain, since a single press of [Del] can also get repeated to great lengths. Of particular annoyance are also things like CTRL-W. :( This behavior is with everything else staying the same. If I switch back to the VNC/TightVNC server and connect to a screen on :1 again, the problem goes away. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm on FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and have Vino 2.7.92
