It would be nice to have a checkbox (on by default, probably) to
pass -Snone to the ssh command. The reason is that

  1. if a connection already exists and sshvnc reuses it via the
     ControlMaster, it cannot set up port forwarding;

  2. if no connection exists, then it might create a master
     connection, making other connections dependent on the VNC
     connection.

Please use -Snone by default, unless the user explicitly choses not
to.

Hello,

You can achieve this customization of the ssh command by putting something
like this in your ~/.ssvncrc file:

env=SSH=ssh -Snone

or by exporting SSH='ssh -Snone' in your environment before starting ssvnc.

The SSH option is now documented in the upstream ssvnc 1.0.29 development
version at http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ssvnc.html#download
