as discussed previously there is a drawback that scrolling gets quite slower in remote usage (tested). so we need new RC option or even better to test internally whether we are on local box. i'm not sure how to detect it reliably but one possible route seems to be DISPLAY environment variable. (i see DISPLAY=:0.0 on local connection and DISPLAY=somehost:10.0 on the forwarded one...) i also confirm that USE_QIMAGE is remarkably faster on my box (ATI radeon card, with opensource drivers) so it would make sense even to backport for branch in case we don't kill other use cases. pavel
