Yeah, anything from Mozilla is going to try to control the horizontal  
and control the vertical.  Do not adjust your xorg.conf. :P

So, VNC isn't a bad solution, even though it's a poor solution for X  
in the general case.  Remote deploying of XULRunner apps is another  
way to skin this cat, though it doesn't solve the same set of  
requirements as VNC.

I bought the XUL book back in '01 or so thinking you could do that  
then... I probably better check on it again.  Remote XUL is  
potentially much nicer than Java or Flash solutions (if you don't  
care about IE, of course).
