AFAIK this feature is unimplemented in UNIX, and indeed all versions of VNC
other than WinVNC.  If someone would like to work on this, I'm sure several
people would find it useful.  NB: the feature has to be implemented at both
ends - the viewer has to 'listen', and the server has to be able to
'instruct'.  In the case of Xvnc, a modification to the vncserver script
might be necessary along with the Xvnc changes...
