If you click the radio button on the right side of the remote screen you will find three action buttons on the left:
1) Fit Screen to window
2) Get the remote clipboard contents
3) Send clipboard contents to the remote clipboard

And if you have dual monitors being displayed on a single monitor, you will see a drop down menu which allows you to select the screen resolution.

(It is pretty weird to see my dual 30" monitors squeezed into the 17" MBP screen - VERY tiny type!)
