The Plan 9 VNC protocol uses an extension to do this,
but I'm not sure whether we made it up ourselves or whether
it's actually used elsewhere.  I suspect the latter.  It was
put in by Dong Lin, who uses the X VNC client quite a bit.

In any event, it's trivial enough to add to the Windows
client.  I don't remember the call off the top of my head,
but the drawterm source does it.
