Connection to OSX screen sharing does not work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Try to connect to an osx box with screensharing enabled (screen sharing of
osx is just a special vnc server).

the problem is the default colormodel. the osx server seems to have
problems with the C64 colormodel. 

i have attached a patch that contains the following changes:
- added the possibility to change the default colormodel in the connect dialog
- changed the layout of the connect dialog (because i did not want to
hassel with the x and y coordinates)
- added some experimental code to show a cross representing the mousecursor
on the client (i use xor mode, but unfortunately i did not get all updates
to the bitmaps, so depending on the bitmapupdates the crosshair produces
strange artifacts).

In future, don't remove @Override from interface implementations in patches :)
(Accepted by a jdk 1.6 compiler)

Also, I'm not sure why we would want to highlight the cursor separately from the
server showing the cursor?  There's no local cursor in android.  Why do you 
need this?

sorry, for the removal of the @overrides ... i was not aware that this is legal 
in
java 1.6 (have only 1.5 on the osx box here). 

the osx vnc-server does not show the mousecursor by default (perhaps it can be
activated, so i tought i wold give it a try). but feel free, to remove these 
changes
from the patch, because it does not work in all cases (almost in no cases to be 
honest).

I'm going to create a different issue to cover drawing a local cursor-- it's 
going to
need a more complicated implementation and we'll make it a user option

I think you are right. I just wanted to play around with the Xor mode, but it 
would
be better to just draw a second bitmap at the right position over the other 
bitmap. I
don't think the ImageView will be able to handle this.
