- rectangles (like >50), just use the bounding box.
- cursor drawing: set optional grain to mark bigger rectangles as drawn (else

- documentation
- hint that to mark very tiny regions as

-.optionally dont draw rich cursors as xcursors
-.cursor smears on IRIX with pthreads, then has bus error. has to be a mutex
- problem in cursor routines.
-.fix bug in http (java) client with big endian server: byte swapping is broken
- (was a cursorshape which was sent too soon; java vncviewer assumes
- a rich cursor shape to be always 1 byte per pixel, however, framebuffer
- updates before setting the pixel format can be server format)
-.rfbConnect, ConnectToTcpAddr
-.update to newest TridiaVNC version (1.2.1).
-.adapt rdp2vnc (rdesktop)
-.pthreads concept: How to iterate over rfbClientPtr's? So that it can be
- either called from rfbProcessEvents (which locks the list mutex)
- or from the main thread (where the background loop sometimes
- locks the list mutex).
- - cursor drawing!
- - cursor setting!

-.test drawing of cursors when not using xcursor or rich cursor encoding
-fix bug with odd width (depends on client depth: width has to be multiple of server.bytesPerPixel/client.bytesPerPixel). only raw!! -> bug of vncviewer!
-.use sraRegion from Wez instead of miregion, because it is much smaller
-. - connection gone and then reconnect is a problem
- the reason: there are in fact three threads accessing
- the clientPtr: input, output and the application thread.
- if you kill the viewer or do rfbCloseClient, all of those
- three have to be warned that this is happening.
- -> rfbClientConnectionGone can only be called by the outer loop
- (with background loop, it is input, else it is processEvents).
-. fixed pthreads issues:
- cursor deadlock,
- CopyRect deadlock.
-. when copying a region with modified parts, they were not marked
- as modified
