That's a bug alright.  It looks like its the 3ddeskd server only.  It 
works for 3ddesk though (both have the --acquire switch).  I'll fix
that for the next version.

Ok thanks for the feedback.  I got hooked on the better resolution 
and it doesn't take too much longer on my machine.  For now I'll 
keep it at 1024, but if I get enough feedback can easily go back.
