Remote access to Mac OS X through osxvnc

At long last, I can now access my Mac OS X desktop remotely from Linux at home. The installation of osxvnc on the desktop and tightvnc on the laptop was trivially easy - much recommended!

If you're going to do this, choose a window manager on the client side that will support full screen mode, and change the keybindings of the window manager to something other than the default, so you can use the default bindings on the host. In my case, I found that the Alt key mapped to Apple's Cmd (command) key, and the Meta (aka Windows) key to Apple's Alt. Ctrl was as expected.
