Send right click through VNC?

Anyone know a VNC client that will send ctrl-click? Using Chicken right now, does not seem to work.

I've been using VNCViewer from http://homepage.mac.com/kedoin/VNC for a while. It seems to send right-clicks ok, thuogh I have had some other problems with it. One it seems to crash when OS X changes my desktop (it's on a random 15minute rotation), and I also noticed a high-pitched whining noise when using it. I think this may be a hardware issue, but I'm not sure. I sent an e-mail to the author of this software the other day but haven't gotten a response yet. He does have some links to other VNC viewers on his site that may be of interest. None were as nice as Chicken or VNCViewer, but with no right-click and a strange whining noise I may be forced to go that way myself. If you find any you like, please let me know.

Thanks

Thanks for the response. Actually, I figured out how to send right clicks and even middle clicks (for 3 button mice). Press (DON'T HOLD) the control key and a "2" will appear next to the cursor. Your next click will be sent as a middle click. Press the shift key and a "3" will appear next to the cursor. This will send right click.

Under Connection Profile, select Emulation -> Right Mouse Button: Modifier Key -> Modifier: Command. Then Connect and use Control-Click (not Command -- for some reason Chicken of the VNC is referring to the Control key as "Command", at least on my system: Chicken 2.0b4 and MBP 10.5.7).
