New in the 0.9.8 x11vnc release:
Better reliability for the Java Viewer applet when connecting
through a Web Proxy via HTTPS. A proxy hostname
and port can be specified via applet parameters.
Proxy Authentication via Auth-Basic is supported.
More x11vnc printout in -ssl is provided to help
troubleshoot this mode and other ssl connections.
Stability improvements to -threads mode. Running x11vnc this
way is more reliable now. Threaded operation sometimes
gives better interactive response and faster updates. The
threaded mode now supports multiple VNC viewers using
the same VNC encoding (some only on Linux or enabled
at build time.) The threaded mode can also yield
a performance enhancement in the many client case
(e.g. class-room broadcast.) We have tested with 30 to
50 simultaneous clients. See also -reflect.
miscellaneous new features and changes:
x11vnc automatically tries to work around an Xorg server bug
involving infinitely repeating keys when turning off key
repeating. Use -repeat if the automatic workaround fails.
Also, the environment variable X11VNC_IDLE_TIMEOUT
(seconds) is provided.
In -reflect mode the environment variable X11VNC_REFLECT_PASSWORD
is provided.
The -clip mode works under -rawfb.
The -nounixpw option can disable unixpw mode if an earlier option
enables it (e.g. -svc).
Scroll detection is skipped for windows with 'OpenOffice' in
their name.

the dockapp area. It consumes very little resources. It is useful in
conjunction with a window manager that allows maximised windows to be
prevented from covering the dockapp area; it allows access to the root
window or menu even when windows are maximised.
