Working now..
Tried various vnc viewers..
vinagre - mouse cursor is invisible
tightvncviewer - not able to scale, scrollbar once used, becomes frozen
xvnc4viewer - not able to scale
finally settled on ssvnc -

An enhanced version of the TightVNC client with support for more encodings and color modes, support for x11vnc and UltraVNC extensions, dynamic screen resizing, an improved popup menu, etc.

.. set scale to 0.5 for best viewing on my netbook's 1024x600 display..
Once again, thanks a lot, twobob..!
EDIT(20131104): since then migrated to ubuntu 12.0.4.. here the pre-installed "remmina remote desktop client" works ok too
