I run vncviewer and server on solaris 8, sometimes on the same host. Sometimes in fullscreen mode, sometimes not, sometimes with the viewer under twm, sometimes no windowing system.
Never had a problem with ALT-mousebutton or Ctrl-Mousebutton. Maybe that key/button combination has special meaning for the windowing system of which vncviewer is a client; maybe the windowing system is intercepting them?
