I am honesty not sure why it's important, but it causes ksycoca to complain loudly, and other KDE applications are unhappy as well. I'm using GNOME on VNC until this gets "fixed". Please see http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/release-notes.html

for the release notes on 4.1.1 on Unix, where they say that the XInputExtension is enabled by default. A quick Google search on VNC and XInputExtension shows mailing list discussions of this issue going back to 2000.

I'm sorry - I'm showing I'm not much of an eX11pert...
