64bit systems are currently unable to use this feature, perhaps a stand alone Java app could be provided as well.

This is nearly a standalone java applications. I will fill an Issue. Do you have some information why 64Bit systems are unable to use this feature? Does JavaWebStart? not work for 64Bit systems? And is this a server or client side problem with Java-WebStart?? As far as i can see it is only a problem for people with 64Bit on Solaris 64-Bit/x64 and Linux x64. So windows 64Bit should work. Anyway i can provide a patch for that for a future release with a standalone application.

Using r3087 Desktop Sharing runs slow (but video&sound is fine) is it possible to reduce the color depth or other parameters of quality to reduce the response time\refresh rate?
