Dear James In RHEL3 and RHEL4 they are branching from 4.0.0.beta code. They claim to be backporting significant issues. I will mention the specific problems I had to them. If you could tell me where they should look for the fix made on the modifier + mouse change perhaps they will backport it.
They claim the slighter later version in RHEL4 does have some improvements with the frame buffer that might (I can't easily test it) have fixed my refresh problems. I appreciate this is not a major issue for realvnc as the 4.1.1 does not show these problems.

If you're using an older RedHat release, of course, then you may find that they're no longer updating the VNC package for it.
