+Comments on various aspects of KRfb:
+
+- KRfb has been designed for three use cases:
+  * a user who needs help from an administrator or friend. The adminstrator can 
+    connect to the user and change settings and so on while both are talking
+    on the telephone or using VoIP.
+  * a user who wants to show something to a friend, so he lets his friend
+    connect to his computer
+  * (advanced use case) somebody with several computers, that are running
+    GUIs, wants to control them.
+- cases 1&2 are probably more mainstream and more important for novice users,
+  so KRfb is pre-configured for them. Case 3 is for advanced users and
+  therefore a little bit more difficult to configure.
+- design goal of KRfb is to make it as easy to use as possible. I tried to
+  limit functionality whereever possible.
+- the new-connection-dialog is extra large and has the pixmap on the left
+  side to capture the attention of the user before allowing a connection.
+- the RFBController class is a mess. The interactions between the threaded, 
+  callback-using libvncserver and the event-driven, single thread qt GUI are
+  quite complicated and I can only hope that it works.
+- most limitations and problems of KRfb are caused either by limitations of
+  Rfb (for example no proper authentication of users, no encryption) or
+  by lack of a framework in Linux in general (no way to connect through a 
+  NAT device). In the next months I am going to concentrate on improving the 
+  latter.
