+ (-ycrop n). This will "hide" the large pixel buffer cache
+ below the actual display. Set to actual height or use -1 for
+ autodetection (tall screens are autodetected by default).
+
+ - Scrollbar width setting: -sbwidth n, the default is very thin,
+ 2 pixels, for less distracting -ycrop usage.
+
+ - The default for localhost:0 connections is not raw encoding
+ (local machine). Default assumes you are using SSH tunnel. Use
+ -rawlocal to revert.
+
+ - XGrabServer support for fullscreen mode, for old window managers
+ (-grab/-graball option).

+ - Fix for Popup menu positioning for old window managers
+ (-popupfix option).
+
+ - Improvements to the Popup menu, all of these can now be changed
+ dynamically via the menu: ViewOnly, CursorShape updates, X11
+ Cursor, Cursor Alphablending, Toggle Tight/ZRLE, Toggle JPEG,
+ FullColor/16bpp/8bpp (256/64/8 colors).
