One Big Problem with your approach there - it relies on SMB, which is
awkward to set up on Linux and near-impossible on Macs. I'd prefer to use
a simple, TCP-based connection to a server which can be on any platform, or
the option to use a local database file. Also, some way of implementing
the "username" request would be needed in the RFB protocol itself, which is
_very_ hard to do without breaking compatibility.
