Change Details

Hi folks, Using krfb as our desktop support tool for ~250 desktops on our LAN - 95% of the users aren't equipped to deal with reciting IP addresses accurately, so I wanted to add the hostname into the connection details as well, since it's easier for non-tech people to read that back. Attached patch does this, and works internally for us - thoughts on doing it better: * hostnames as reported by the host are not necessarily accurate for network access, so * consider actually doing a nameserver lookup to verify * only show the hostname if you can verify
