Thanks Fred, I might try the tight VNC just to see what happens.
The funny thing is that the viewer with the problem is running on the same machine as the server and when I access the window manager directly (fvwm2) there are no probs. Anyway thanls for your input. I hope you got in some skating on the Rideau this year, but I hear Winterlude was pretty short.
