Re: [foxboro] VNC - VPN Setup was IP routing/mapping

The VNC server, the latest VNC server for linux is compiled against 
Xorg. As of XFree86 V4 backing store was not enabled which is fine for 
modern X Windows applications but breaks many Foxboro remote draw 
applications. The buttons disappear if the window is iconised or another 
window is dragged over the top.

If you find an old version of the VNC server that was compiled against 
XFree86 V3.2 you don't have problems with buttons. The same applies to 
the Sun version if you want the VNC server to operate on the AW or WP 
and have the buttons work.
