Graphical connection to a Mac from Linux

For my lab work, I have developed an (almost) cross-platform program based on Qt4 that help us analyze our data. One of the motivations to use Qt was the ability to port the program to other platforms, and in particular MacOSX (half of my team uses them). After installing the required development tools using MacPorts (mind you, the MacOS version of the development tools, not the X11 one), I was able to compile and run the program without a single code change on my bosses' Mac. But here come problems: several things do not work the same way in Mac and in Linux (whereas it should, I think), so additional tweaking and debugging will be necessary.

This is where the problem comes in: I don't own a Mac and don't intend to, so I need to connect to my bosses' Mac in order to perform testing. How can I connect to a Mac display ? X11 connection won't work, since my application is a Mac application and not a X11 one. I had him turn on screen sharing (the most basic tick box), which sets up a VNC server on the Mac. Unfortunately, when I connect using the command-line VNC clients available for debian, ie vncviewer (from the packages xvnc4viewer or xtightvncviewer), I get the following problems:

The good news is that remmina is able to connect graphically, although for me it required that I set the display depth to 24 bits (else it seems to connect, but the connection dies immediately). Great, I'll be able to debug, then...

Edit: after a while, I found out that remmina had some drawbacks when connecting to a Mac, such as, at least in my case, a weird problem with Shift: once I hit Shift, I'm never able again to type in lowercase characters, which is quite painful. I tried also Vinagre, who handled that better (but had some quite painful freezing moment), so I must say that I finally found a client I'm happy with: gtkvncviewer.
