Please try the latest pre-release build from http://www.virtualgl.org/DeveloperInfo/PreReleases and let me know if the situation has improved. The long and the short of it is that there were a couple of legitimate bugs in vncviewer, but most of the issues were due to bugs in Xt that I had to work around (ugh.) This was one of those cases in which there was one "magic formula" that worked, and it took way too many hours of trial and error to find it.
I've tested the new code on RHEL 5 and RHEL 6, but given how difficult the Xt issues were to work around, it would not surprise me if there were issues remaining on other platforms. Let me know if you encounter any further problems. Note that the spanning behavior is controlled at the driver level. Currently, the only way I know of to make a full-screen window span multiple monitors on Linux is to use nVidia TwinView and tell it not to advertise Xinerama info (setting Option "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" "True" in xorg.conf.) Doing this will allow vncviewer to cover the real estate of all monitors. Otherwise, it can never span beyond one monitor, and if the desktop is larger than a single monitor's real estate, bump scrolling will be enabled.
