I don't know if this is possible or not .. but can there be in existence such a thing as a VNC plasmoid.

Imagine: Having a widget on your desktop No.2 to control your other pc in that other room .. (be it linux or a mac or a windows)

I can't imagine porting the code from Krdc to a plasmoid will be that difficult .. correct?

What made this idea pop into my head is that I happen now to be with an extra unfortunately-monitorless CPU :)

Extra idea: is that if the other computer is not online .. then the widget can display a blank black "off" screen .. like a TV turned off for example.. or glassify it with a notice: Desktop "blah blah blah" is now offline.

An option will also be provided like: auto-connect on startup .. auto-connect only on showing respective desktop etc etc.

What do you think?
