One nice thing for debugging is using the Squeak RFB/VNC package and some port forwarding trickery to fix a problem live. A problem with that is sorting out the port to use and the forwarding - it's all very well if you have a single site but with a bunch of dynamically created ones it can get a bit fraught.
NoVNC claims to provide an in-browser VNC connection back to your site. I've done a tiny bit of playing with it and I think it ought to be useful. So far though, no luck in making it talk to RFB/VNC.
Has anyone else tried this and had success? Spotted problems that might be beatable? Concluded it is a fools errand? Found a better solution?

Fractured Idiom:- VENI, VIDI, VISA - I came, I saw, I bought
Maybe this is the wrong list, but whatever.
After installing the current seaside/grease in Squeak 6.1 trunk I was surprised to notice that the selected GRPlatform subclass was GRPharoPlatform - and obviously it caused a problem as soon as I tried an example that wanted to be debugged. 'fixing' it with GRSqueakPlatform select is simple enough but I couldn't spot where the selection gets made in the code. Clearly *something* was choosing the pharo version.
What did I miss?
