OK - that could be a way - even if I'd need to VNC to another machine to show 
the client some changes made to his software. But: How can I do that? I still 
have version 1.9.1. Is there a new one?

Sorry, I must contradict. Improving it removes the urgent need for many other 
things: It is nice to put efforts into cool features such as brain storming, 
mind mapping etc. But sharing the screen we could work together on *any* 
subject with *any* programm. We're not very far from that in the current 
version. I use it quite often. It is better than many other systems as it is 
easier to use and offers a decent experience. But:
- bandwidth can be an issue which could be mitigated by lowering the image 
quality (less color, maybe jpeg compression)
- messed up diacritical characters when typing to the other side on Linux

There are FLOSS technologies such as VNC which provide a quite good scalable 
experience even on narrow lines. Why not build upon that?
