This is a very interesting project. One question. The server isn't
running a window manager and the Ruby/Tk process is acting as the
window manager through the TkCanvas object, correct? What I don't
understand is how a VNC client automatically connects to this TkCanvas
object that's acting as the VNC server's window manager. Is there some
static mapping or correlation that has to be made manually on the
server? How does the VNC server bind itself to the Ruby/Tk process?
