VNC application with drop-down menu


I am looking for a VNC application that acts like the one that I used in Windows. I downloaded RealVNC for Windows and I liked the drop-down box on the viewer so that you did not have to retype the address of remote computers the you have previously visited. The RealVNC for Linux does not have this capability for some reason.

I was using FC3 or Mandrake, can't remember which it was, and it had a VNC application that had this capability (drop-down menu) but I can't for the life of me find it again. I am using Ubuntu on one computer and SuSE 10 on another. Any ideas? Thanks.

That did not seem to do it. I have that on the computer but I still only get a VNC dialog box where I can only type in the server name, there is no drop down box that includes recently accessed servers such as the Win version has. I used some kind of a VNC viewer in another Linux distro in the past but I cannot remember what it was.

While googling I found this:

which is similar to the question that I am asking but there is no solution posted. Thanks for the post though.
