Either you still don't understand me, or the kernel is doing an assload more than I think it is. If a long songname is being displayed on the empeg, let's say "The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill", the screen will sometimes be displaying "The Girl Who Lives on Heaven H", and sometimes it will be displaying "e Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill". If I select the wrong times to update the VNC client, then I run the risk of never sending the beginning of the title, or other pertinent sections. I'll figure out the best way to deal with this, I'm sure, but I doubt the kernel can take care of it for me automatically. Or am I wrong?
