Bert,

Also, I forgot to say: you probably ment running the VNC server from OLPC 
image, but when I tried to install FrameBuffer into OLPC image (updated) from 
SqueakMap, I receive a MNU "SystemDictionary changes" around 
SMDefaultInstaller>>fileIntoChangesetNamed:fromStream. Not sure if I am 
missing something.. 

So the screenshot in my last email is scaled VNCViewer against VNCServer run 
from the OS, which is probably not testing what you intended.
