Hello All,
I've noticed various posts on the alt/ctl/shift key problems when the server
gets confused about the up/down state of these keys.
I've seen more of these problems than usual after upgrading to version 4,

Hi,
I'm running vncviewer 4.0 on win2k, and whenever I change to full
screen, I have to press control + esc (to show my start menu) and click
on the vnc area or else my start menu will show instead of the remote one.
Has anyone else seen this?

VNC-
This is the same problem we were having. I think it is a bug. We tried
installing again, uninstalling, etc. VNC becomes not useable to the point
that you have to walk up to the pc or console.
Below is the description of the problem in an email from our problem.
Thanks,

Thanks for your mail. Do you think it worked the same way in 3.3.7?
(Your mail wasn't quite clear) Our experience is that xmodmap worked
in 3.3.7, but stopped workiing in 4.0.

I don't remember if I tried the Alt key explicitly. That and it still
leaves the matter of the keyboard being completely incapacitated both at
the client and server level. Anyhow, it's hard to diagnose the problem
since I am not connected to anyone via VNC, let alone experiencing the
problem :-(

Dynamic desktop resizing is where the viewer will resize if the server's
display is resized, without requiring you to reconnect. Scaling is a
separate feature.

This does nothing and the problem persists. The mouse buttons continue

It sounds as though their server isn't handling locally-rendered cursors
properly.
To check what the viewer is seeing, you can try running your vncviewer with
the command-line:
vncviewer -console -log=*:stderr:100
to see whether it prints any messages regarding the cursor.

Various virus-killer programs flag VNC Server as a potential threat, simply
