I've been trying to search Google and other engines to find the answer here, but naturally the billions of 'how to run a vnc server' stuff is spamming me.

I want to change the default handler for VNC from vinagre to xtightvncviewer. Quite frankly, I am disgusted with vinagre, and thing its rather bloated and ugly, but that aside I would rather use a smaller form factor vnc client like xtight.

In chrome, I click vnc:// url/uri's and it pops up vinagre (remote desktop viewer); I want to change this behavior to spawn xtightvncviewer instead. How can I do that in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid) ?

Appreciate your help in advance.
