Ubuntu with Gnome at both ends.

Yes, though I've found the cursor and redraws seem to lag compared to
Nxviewer, which is why I'm trying that for now.  The one problem I have
with Nxviewer is that the command line options aren't well documented.
I can find lists of them, but no proper explanations of what they do...

Not a problem here, as I'm running a nice big 1600x1200 screen on my
box.  Could be handy for working the other way round though.
