Please go ahead and commit the patch attached earlier to fix epoptes on
openSUSE, I am unable to find the clean way to detect vncviewer on
Fedora/rh clones as there is nothing common that we could use to detect
it.

See content of the rpm package:

Centos:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/29077807/dir/centos_7/com/tigervnc-1.2.80-0.30.20130314svn5065.el7.x86_64.rpm.html

Fedora:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/31137891/dir/fedora_other/com/tigervnc-1.5.0-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm.html

SUSE, Fedora/RH clones do not have any other vncviewer available, the
new patch attached would be ideal if you are happy to drop support for
other non-default vncviewers.

** Patch added: "Patch that works for SUSE and RH clones"

Title:
  unble to launch Assist/Monitor when using vncviewer from tigervnc

Status in Epoptes:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  vncviewer from tigervnc requires launching like xvnc4viewer, so may be
  test to find out which   vncviewer binary is used before launching it
  would be better.

  On openSUSE there is /usr/bin/vncviewer-tigervnc actual binary and
  /usr/bin/vncviewer is link to /etc/alternatives/vncviewer. On suse the
  attached patch would work, however it does not solve issue with other
  distributions that install vncviewer binary which is from tigervnc.

  For example on CentOS /usr/bin/vncviewer is actual binary provided by
  tigervnc. Only way I could discover if the binary comes from tigervnc
  is like this::

  if  grep TigerVNC /usr/bin/vncviewer; then
        echo  "this is vncviewer-tigervnc, using vnc4viewer parameters"
  elif grep TightVNC  /usr/bin/vncviewer; then
       echo "this is TightVNC vncviewer, using old school parameters to launch"
  else
      echo "unknown vncviewer, using .... parameters to launch"
  fi

  Don't know python equal of this.
