A Mac version of VNC (VNC Thing, I think) I've used has
the useful feature I'd like to see: being able to shrink the
display of the remote screen to fit on the screen you're
using. This is useful if the remote host has a higher
screen res than the one you're on.

I often use the remote desktop in coordination with some
application on the local desktop. It would be VERY nice to
have the full remote desktop (including taskbar -- entire
screen real estate) fit into the desktop application space
(full desktop excluding taskbar or any top of screen
menubars), so I can easily switch to other applications as
desired)
For an idea of what I'm talking about, try running VMWare
maximized rather than full-screen. It just works better.

How about an option to choose a specific resolution, say
800x600, at the time of connection? Combined with showing
the entire remote screen (such as taskbar, like mentioned
earlier), this would really make it useful. And if the
server had the option of sending only a certain resolution,
that would help, too.

I was almost going to add a new feature request saying this.
In version 1.3dev7, the fixed options 50% and 75% are too
far away from eachother, so they aren't that usefull as it
could be.
I vote for doing what arthurking2k says
full screen will PAN instead of shrink to fit, where i would want to distort aspect ratio to fit full pixels of the viewer, IE server is at 2392 x 1200 (yes!) and laptop viewer is at 1920 x 1200, with say, radmin (im tired of their $50 every time i upgrade hardware more than 2x!), it will put all those pixels on my laptop, obviously aliasing alot of pixels but its still totally readable. its indespensable for me as i need to see the huge desktop all at one glance...
