Comment 4 for bug 385529

This is a great idea. I had so many problems with synergy (crashes, garbage in copy-paste, asserts, hangs where the whole machine was hung until I ssh'd into the box and "killall syner" etc). Besides that, synergy is relatively hard to configure (even if you're using the quicksynergy package) compared to other packages. Finally, the fact that the default config sends everything over the network unencrypted is certainly less than ideal.
