Thanks ori.

Indeed, I saw that.  However, it only occurs if the server lets the
client resize the frame buffer and the dimensions of the rc window is
not equal to the server's frame buffer.  In the case of OS X's stock
VNC server, I confirmed that the server doesn't allow resizing (it
doesn't send the ExtendedDesktopSize message), so apparently that
won't work for my situation.

Maybe I want vncv to have a vertical and horizontal scroller to view
different areas of the frame buffer, or some other mechanism to view
different portions of the screen.  Or perhaps scale the raw buffer to
a pre-determined dimension (which I think might be more complicated).
Anyway, one other thing on the ever-growing todo/wish list, and which
will be a learning experience.
