I've finally managed to reproduce this on our Solaris box. As Nicolas
pointed out, it only happens when the desktop is being viewed from a Windows
viewer with ZRLE and full-colour mode. It doesn't often show up because on
really slow connections the viewer should be using 8-bit mode so you won't
see it and on fast connections it will be using hextile, so again you won't
see the problem.
It turns out to be a bug in the Windows viewer, which is easy to fix if you
can recompile it. I enclose a patch at the end of this mail.
Cheers
Tristan
