I just installed x2vnc at home now also.  Now I can use my nice keyboard and
trackball on my linux box, and just scroll the cursor off the linux desktop
right into my win2k monitor sitting to the left of it.  It's not slower at
all, it works great.  

No more typing on the wrong keyboard!!  Woohoo!  Apparently I've been living
under a rock or something since I never knew about this before.

Actually, I changed it to 800x600 and it's much better.  I had a very
intricate background too which I did away with.  It's still noticably slower
than actually being at the console, but it's not bad.  VNC is sweet.  I
can't believe I didn't play with it sooner.
