X11 is a nice protocol, and it works great for people who are into it. 
It works even better when coupled with SSH port tunneling.

However, it only works if you install some elaborate client side 
software to view all this stuff. The point of a web conference tool is 
to be able to do it through a web browser, so that you don't have to 
install any software.

Several posters have claimed that VNC has a web client applet, so you 
can run a VNC session without any client software. That's great news, 
and I will go check it out. Google produced hints of such a thing, but 
no obvious "how-to" document; someone got it at their fingertips?

Thanks,
