I've had no problems, but then, I usually use 16 biit color.

It uses the ame algorithm as the java client, which I though looked   
worse.                                                                
Are you using the most current version? :)

The new viewer can "scale" - but since you're on the client side that 
doesn't help your bandwidth problem.  Then, since the question was    
regarding exporting linux (or X) to an arbitrary machine...           
                                                                      
--Dany, who should just get a bigger pip
