10.5: Add useful toolbar buttons to Screen Sharing
Authored by: dethbunny on Mon, Dec 10 2007 at 10:48PM PST
Everybody's missing my favorite undocumented setting in the same plist: the Bonjour browser! Change the "ShowBonjourBrowser_Debug" boolean from "No" to "Yes." (Or the following if you're Terminal-happy.)
defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing ShowBonjourBrowser_Debug -bool true
You now have a Bonjour-based browser that opens whenever you run Screen Sharing. It's now a useful, dock-worthy app. Click it, then control the target machine. You don't have to dink around with the Finder to remotely control the machine. Yay! It'll even remember passwords.

That's because there was a hint on just that pref already.
