VNC-Viewer not scrollable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Both sides (giving support, needs help) are using ubuntu 8.10
   - giving support uses a screen-resolution with 1280x800
   - needs help uses a screen-resolution with 1600x1200
2. connect both

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It's impossible to scroll on the screen because on the bottom of the
picture there is black space. The more I scroll down the more the screen
gets black. It's not possible to scroll up again

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gitso 0.5
ubuntu 8.10

Please provide any additional information below.

Does right-clicking where you'd expect to left-click (to scroll) do the trick.  
I
found this un-intuitive to say the least, but that's just how vncviewer works.  
We've
played around with switching the vnc client that we use, but we haven't come up 
with
anything that is as reliable across the board.

@gerberad:
Ok, I tried it once more, but the scrolling behavior is really slow and not 
useable. 

I also tried to connect with Vinagre (the normal way) and this program works 
really
fine. But I know, that this one is not cross platform

Another option you might try is to switch the viewer to full screen once it's
connected.  You can do this by pressing F8 and selecting "Full screen" once in 
full
screen you can exit by pressing F8 again and selecting the now checked "Full 
screen".
 There are a number of options you can adjust from the F8 menu as well that may
improve your remote control responsiveness, like the encoding and color level 
(under
"Options").

Did you also try the enhanced viewer from here 
http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ssvnc.html 
as an alternative viewer?

I haven't tested it on 0.5, but on the development version (0.6), this is fixed 
by
changing line 39 on /usr/share/gitso/Processes.py from:

self.returnPID = os.spawnlp(os.P_NOWAIT, 'x11vnc',
'x11vnc','-nopw','-ncache','20','-solid','black','-connect','%s' % host)

to

self.returnPID = os.spawnlp(os.P_NOWAIT, 'x11vnc',
'x11vnc','-nopw','-nonc','-solid','black','-connect','%s' % host)

Tested on Nexradix 1.18 (which is based on Ubuntu 9.10).

Thanks. This has been implemented in SVN. But did not make it in the 0.6 
release.
