 It would be very useful if i could ask a person in my pidgin list to share
 screen via VNC!

 If we are able to provide live help to our friends in such a simple and
 easy way, it would play crucial role in convincing our new friends to
 adopt something as wonderful as linux.

 I have used VNC on my lan to connect to my friend's computer and it is
 pretty simple.But if we are behind a router with dynamic ip, things get
 complicated.Port forwarding is something which everybody can't do.
 Integrating vnc with pidgin with auto configuration of the router will
 make things simple and idiot-proof. It's importance and usability can
 never be overstated.

 I am not asking for something new.Just a better integration of existing
 facilities can do wonders!
