Uhm, because it doesn't solve the problems I'm trying to solve.
1) x11vnc exports the current physical display from the desktop, which
means that I couldn't be logged in from the laptop while my girlfriend
was logged in on the desktop
2) Anybody who wanted to use x11vnc on the laptop would need to log in
there first. I am trying to avoid creating multiple accounts on the
laptop.
