Some comments on various aspects of KRfb:
|
||||
|
||||
- KRfb has been designed for three use cases:
|
||||
* a user who wants to show something to a friend, so he lets his friend
|
||||
connect to his computer
|
||||
* a user who needs help from an administrator. The adminstrator can connect
|
||||
to the user and change settings and so on while both are talking
|
||||
on the telephone or using VoIP.
|
||||
* (advanced use case) somebody with several computers that are running
|
||||
GUIs want to control them without going to them.
|
||||
- cases 1&2 are probably more mainstream and more important for novice users,
|
||||
so KRfb is pre-configured for them. Case 3 is for advanced users and
|
||||
therefore a little bit more difficult to configure.
|
||||
- by offering the connection-confirmation dialog KRfb avoids configuration
|
||||
issues like setting a password
|
||||
- design goal of KRfb is to make it as easy to use as possible. I tried to
|
||||
limit functionality whereever possible.
|
||||
- the original x0rfbserver has a features for selecting the port number
|
||||
automatically. I skipped that because it is too complicated on the client
|
||||
side, but I may change my opinion when KDE supports SLP or a similar
|
||||
auto-discovery mechanism.
|
||||
- the command line args are intended for starting KRfb from a system like
|
||||
Jabber, thats the reason why there is no preferences dialog when
|
||||
command line args have been used and it's also the reason
|
||||
for --one-connection
|
||||
- the newconnection-dialog is extra large and has the pixmap on the left
|
||||
side to capture the attention of the user before allowing a connection.
