I can say for myself that I like Xpra, especially since it works
independent from the window manager.

If it is only packaging, I think we find someone who can do it. But
since I am no developer, I can not change the sourcecode ;)
as far as I can see, krfb is mainly KDE driven, that wouldn't help me
