Since I've not heard anything about this since last month, I'll just post
it again to see if anyone can confirm this problem.
Or if someone could tell me where to post an 'official' bug report? This
is a quite annoying problem, preventing us from using vnc (which
generally is a great program) as often as we'd like to. ;-/

If it helps, I could of course also post our XF86config and the logs.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

> Hello all,
> I'm not quite sure if this is a bug or a feature:

> 3) Shut down the vncviewer (with kill -9 or F8 -> Exit viewer)
> 4) Repeat steps 2) and 3)
> 5) X server on the first machine will restart
