A while back I investigated this and developed an opinion (in the
context of using VNC). I would think the code for this and VNC would
be 95% the same. Then the GUI frontend to it in GNOME/KDE can also be
shared.

Here is a post that includes my .02 on the topic:

If you look in the xpert archives the "damage" extension I did is in
there but as mentioned in the above archived post Keith wanted to do
it a different way.
