What's this got to do with firewalls? I do certainly not run VNC through
a firewall? If I need to connect to a users machine from outside I can
run Gencontrol within a VPN or Citrix session. Why would you need/want
to run directly through a firewall?

I know what you mean...
Anyway, I wouldn't unblock the VNC ports in the company firewall if I
were you, and that's what you mean?
VNC is well-known to crackers and hackers... Granted, you can lock it
down using white-lists and stuff, but I'd still rather see a way to
initiate a mail-remote-desktop-session and yadda, yadda, yadda, using an
already built-in program. I really with Microsoft could point its wand
over the rdp-clients and do some magic. 8-/
