A new release is available. Based on some initial tests on the device itself (as opposed to the scratchbox emulation environment), it seems to work better than the last one overall. Here's the changelog:
* Fixed bug that prevented characters with accents (and other multi-byte characters) from being sent to the VNC server properly
* Fixed bug that kept scrollbars around even when they weren't needed
* New feature: hardware movement keys now scroll the display if held down
* Code cleanup--changed to use gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport. May possibly result in better performance and behavior.
I have to say that scrolling using the hardware movement keys is quite nice :-) . Also, the second changelog entry means that if you setup a VNC server with a geometry of 800x480 or less, you will be able to view it without scrollbars at full screen without the toolbar.
In case some of you are wondering why XYZ feature isn't in this release, I mostly intended it as a bug fix release, but I managed to sneak the hardware movement keys in.
The new package can be found at

. Uninstall the previous package first (actually, it won't let you install without uninstalling the previous package).
