The patch assumes that you start qemu from the qemu directory. By the way,
you don't have to rename the qemu directory to qemu_vnc or qemu_cvs, but
you can "cd qemu; patch -p1 < qemu-rfb6.patch".

Yes. I don't know yet why it is jerky, but I found it more important that
it is sort of accurate first.

this probably means a bug in LibVNCServer. Hopefully I find the time to
look into that.
