DESCRIPTION
vinagre is a VNC client for the GNOME desktop which is popu-
lar due to its features.
- You can connect to several machines at the same time
- You can save your most used connections as bookmarks
- You can access your recently used connections
- You can browse your network for VNC servers
- You do not need to supply a password for every connection
because vinagre is integrated with gnome-keyring and it
securely manages connection passwords for you
- You can add a GNOME panel applet to quickly launch vinagre
to access VNC servers
- You can connect to a VNC server by double clicking on a
.vnc file when using nautilus. This file is in a format
recognized by vinagre to specify a VNC server, eg:
[connection]
host=snoopy
port=5900
where 'snoopy' is the name of the machine, and '5900' is the
port number.

--gtk-vnc-debug Enables debug output
-f, --file=filename Opens a .vnc file
