Sounds better than what I have now.  Some kind of timestamp/frame number
display would be very helpful.

Could we do it from a NG-style cap file?  We have a lot of Network
General here and it would save me a step (cap to pcap).

vncrec (http://www.sodan.org/~penny/vncrec/) is another stab at vnc
record-and-playback and the Tightvnc java viewer can generate
rfbproxy-compatible playback files.
