This is not surprising.  VNC was designed to be able to run on fairly 
minimal devices.  The only thing really stored on the client side is the 
framebuffer image.  The client sends input events to the server (mouse 
movements/clicks and key presses), and the server sends updates to 
rectangular areas of the screen back to the client.  If you want a 
smarter display system, you could try X on the client :)
