Thanks for your attention,  CC netdev this time.

VNC server: tigervnc-server-0.0.91-0.11.fc11.x86_64
VNC client:  TurboVNC Viewer version 0.5 for Solaris
Distro       : Fedora 11, x86-64

I specify gnome-init in xstartup, below is my xstartup file, with this
file one only need to run vncviewer from the client to produce this
bug:
