Hi Roman

No worry. Anyway regarding security. According to the academics definition
of security it implies
- Integrity
- Confidentiality
- Availability

What we may have a problem with here is the integrity. The confidentiality
is usually lost anyway as vnc is not encrypted. With the harden patch
applied we really had a problem with availability as it always crashed.

Based on that the "harden" patch is definitely worse from a security point
of view, unless the root cause is found and fixed.

If anyone finds the root cause I'm happy to know about it. I will not have
time to investigate it for a while.

Cheers

// Ola
