[Bug 119982] Re: amd64 vncconfig crashes

[jcarlyle]

After walking away last night angry and disgusted about the state of
vnc4 support in Ubuntu, it occurred to me that I could the regular
Debian version of the package.

I obtained the Debian source package for vnc4 for lenny from:
http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/vnc4

I then manually patched unix/xc/programs/Xserver/vnc/vncExtInit.cc. (I
moved the include of XserverDesktop.h to immediately after the include
of stdio.h.)

Finally, I built the package in the usual manner: debuild -us uc

There are only two binary packages built from the Debian version of
vnc4: vnc4server and xvnc4viewer. I uninstalled the Ubuntu vnc4server
and vnc4-common binary packages (using apt-get purge), and then used
dpkg to install the binary packages that I had just built.

I am happy to report that everything appears to be working fine. The
vnc4config tool no longer crashes on startup, and I can now happily cut-
and-paste from my vnc session.
