Best VNC viewer?
I like vinagre, but since it's Gnome, it wants the Gnome-keyring-daemon to save my passwords.
Are there any simple vnc-viewer clients that are not DE-specific?

I like remmina from AUR which used to be called Grdc. It's relatively light and GTK+ based. Further details at http://remmina.sourceforge.net/

Re: Best VNC viewer?
Unfortunately remmina isn't compiling at the moment, after the latest libpng/libjpeg updates.
remmina-svn does compile, but most of the dialog boxes are missing when trying to set up a connection.
We'll have to be patient until this is fixed.
In the meantime, I've found that my old package (for Remmina's predecessor) grdc-0.6.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz works!

I like tightvnc. It is pretty de/wm-agnostic.
I haven't lost my mind; I have a tape back-up somewhere.

Re: Best VNC viewer?
likewise tightvnc, it has useful features like compression, and desktop scaling (if you use the java client).
By scaling I mean something like this: your client res is 1024x768 and your server is 1280x1024, the image can be scaled to fit the client.
Edit 'spleling'
