--- Comment #2 from RJVB <rjvber...@gmail.com> ---
Is there a better place to post these kind of wild ideas, where they might get
*whelming reactions from the community? :)
I can't judge how unstable this might make the WM - hardly when done right I'd
hope (possibly with the compositor turned off). I'd be more concerned about
performance, but then this does not need to be something intended to allow
*concurrent* access from multiple hosts.
FWIW, OS X has had a builtin remote desktop feature that's nothing but a VNC
server, and it is in fact what inspired my suggestion. You have to enable it
explicitly, and then set a password. I never got to try if multiple clients can
connect, but as soon as a client connects a conspicuous icon appears in the
menubar ("system tray"), with a menu under it that allows to disconnect the
client in a click.
I highly doubt Apple would have left this option in the consumer version of
their OS (i.e. not only in OS X Server) if the security risks were really
severe. AFAIAC the security risks are only slightly higher than for the SSH
server we all run -- once your IP is exposed.
