James and everyone else, I agree that it's not RealVNC 4.x brand compatible but it is VNC compatible in the sense that it is using a VNC protocol and works with any VNC that is not the RealVNC brand 4.x base. That's like saying that it's not Microsoft Windows compatible unless it runs on Windows Vista. :)
UltraVNC and TightVNC are very popular versions of VNC that are actively developed and very feature rich thanks to these "hobbiests". They should not be ignored simply because they don't use the same code base as the RealVNC branded 4.x code base. I don't mean to be the annoying accuracy cop here but this distinction needs to be clear. UltraVNC and RightVNC are RFB compatible VNC servers that branch from and improve upon the original 3.x code base while maintaining backwards compatibility (unlike the 4.x code base).

Better to product patches against something VNC-compatible, or, better still, the standard VNC codebase, if you want people to be able to use it!
