[ale] vmware remote display vs vnc on the ubuntu box vs xming on my Windoze machine

"Free for two connections" - Correction:  *zero-cost* for two

dependency is a significant limitation.  I would further ask if it 
implements an open protocol (I suspect no, or anyone could write a 
client or server).
