Thanks to Joost Witteveen (he gave me an account on his machine where everything worked as it should) I figured out the problem. It turns out to be a server problem. VNC server 4 (from backports.org) fixes the problem and it all works flawlessly again! It's just a shame that it didn't work when I tried to show off to a fellow colleague the power of grace as opposed to excel, ;-) David -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus.
