Pidgin VNC integration

[Alexandre Strube]

Hello Manish,
your suggestion is interesting, however you could perhaps make it more
effective if you present it at the right place.

If you want to present this as an ubuntu-only feature (which I don't believe
will ever be done this way), you can open a bug as wishlist, at launchpad,
the Ubuntu's bug/issue tracking system.

However, this would be better suited to be a wishlist item at the pidgin's
website itself. This way, everyone would benefit from such feature, not just
ubuntu. Besides, the chance of being done is perhaps somewhat higher if you
ask directly to the upstream.

There is another alternative though. You could implement this be yourself -
as a pidgin plugin - And be famous and help "convincing our new friends to
adopt something as wonderful as linux" in your own words (not that I buy
this one, but hey)
