This is the behavior of twm which is the tiny window manager (I'm trying
to think of a more descriptive adjective than tiny :)).  I'd recommend a
different window manager.  Some people like fvwm, I like mwm - Motif (from
the good 'ol AIX days).  To change it here's what I do:

-) Run "vncserver" from Linux and set a password
-) Immediately kill that session: "vncserver -kill :1"
-) Be sure motif is installed: "[yast -i|up2date] openmotif"
-) Change twm to mwm in /root/.vnc/xstartup
-) Run "vncserver" again - I'm sure you'll like the windows better.

Hope this helps.
