Good. You might find that some X11 programs (including some versions of 
Lazarus) are significantly faster over VNC than over a remote X11 link 
(i.e. tunnelled over SSH, or set up using XDMCP). This usually happens 
because something starts polling input devices more rapidly than is 
reasonable, and VNC effectively caches things.
