Citrix and others are VNC-like, each with its own protocol. They don't
seem to acknowledge VNC either.

Drawterm's model is more universal.  It would be straightforward to
add a device for window spying and extend the namespace that drawterm
serves.  Performance of /dev/draw would suggest that its speed would
be comparable to other "thin clients".
