Alasdair: I just checked again against my Solaris 9 (9/04 but with patches) and the window disappears after I login???? This was the version I ran my tests against so I'm surprised it works for you.
I tracked the error down (using the trace facility of xdm along with the X6.3.1 source for xdm) to the point in xdm where it is writing authorization records - at which point I decided to try a newer version of X. Having not exactly identified the error I don't know where the fault lies. My solution was to download and build the entire XFree 4.3.0 distribution and then start its version of xdm rather than the /usr/openwin/bin version. I did not rebuild vnc.
