Nick, I think as it stands today (and unless a patch is forthcoming pretty quickly), VNC fails your business requirements for the time being. Use ConnectPriority=2 on the *server*. However, there's an outstanding bug that allows VNC clients to come in as "shared", and view this connection but no

Make sure you don't have any other "modifier" keys turned on - the most likely culprit is Num Lock. (xterm - at least in SunOS 5.1 - doesn't pull up the menus if Num Lock is on.) I'm not sure about Caps Lock. xmodmap -pm will tell you the possible modifiers; xev will tell you what modifiers are a

The problem is that VNC, on *nix systems, will always use a display number for access by applications. If one drops the display number for the VNC client connections, then we'll have *two* unrelated IDs for the VNC server - the display number, and the VNC ID, whatever that might be (port perhaps?)
