I heartily second this request.

I too would like to see RealVNC 4.0.

Here is an ebuild for a Binary version of RealVNC 4.0 derived from the 3.3.7
source ebuild.

I had the source one working except for the xfree vnc.so module.  Since they no
longer include x sources in their source packages, it just started getting too
complex for the time I had available.

Anyway, this filled my needs, and since xf4vnc is binary only as well, it
couldn't be worse then that.

Updated ebuild - vnc.so wasn't being copied over

Missed an entry in the dodir portion of the install section that prevented the
vnc.so from being installed.

New ebuild -r1 version.

The 4.0 ebuilds should be marked as stable. 

I have been using 4.0 server every weekday for nearly six months and have never had any problems with it. This is mostly with the windows viewer but I have also used the gentoo 4.0 viewer as well. Also without problems.
