This is a good idea, I just hope it won't take ages to be accepted.
I'll work on this.
There's not really any formal process for VNC extensions. You pretty
much just post to the vnc mailing list & propose what you want to do
and unless its absolutely insane you should get given a psuedo encoding
number reasonably quickly.
We can use the existing space for gtk-vnc although VMware actually
already has an extension to support server initiated pixel format
changes. See http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=VMNC
The extension is VMVi (display mode change). I would much rather just
implement that in QEMU and in gtk-vnc.
This would also count in my mind as finally fixing SetPixelFormat since
a client could rely on getting the DisplayModeChange message before the
server starts using the new pixel format.
Getting it implement in clients is more fun - but feel free to propose
patches to the gtk-vnc mailing list - we aim to be broad compatability
with as many servers as possible & are particularly interested in stuff
that is useful to virtualization. Also send ideas for the protocol
extension there & we can give feedback on how well it'll work from
the client POV.
