Protocol extension for changing desktop name on the fly

[James Weatherall]

Hi Peter,

In practice desktop names are currently ASCII-only, but new standard RFB
protocol elements all use UTF-8 for string data.  I'd recommend that
third-party encodings, etc also use UTF-8 for string data for consistency.

Cheers,
