My advice is to switch to the FreeNX client/server: http://freenx.berlios.de/ It works, well, with (K)Ubuntu, with none of the problems that have been reported with vnc4server. The vncserver issues have persisted for months, with no promise of resolution. FreeNX, on the other hand, just works.

I reported the original bug report, and it was actually two manifestations of vncserver breakage: 1) vncserver does not work with 8.10/KDE4.2, and 2) krfb (which uses vnc) is broken. FYI, the type of corrupted client-side view I am experiencing with krfb is identical to the previous poster's.
