I installed VNCThing and tried it. Same problem. The checkbox in Options,
"Release Modifiers", doesn't seem to do anything. For example, if I'm in the
Finder and issue Command-N (new folder), VNCThing's New Session window pops
up on my client Mac. Am I unclear on the concept? Timbuktu makes it so
simple!
Furthermore, it takes 4 quick mouse clicks (not two) to open a folder or
launch a file or program from its Desktop icon. Do I have to look at another
Mac VNC Server other than ChromiVNC Server FAT?
Or is this a client problem? I'm using a USB mouse and keyboard on a Mac
G4/500.
