Many thanks for the info. I will try rebuilding the kbuntu xorg package with those patches. Does that constitute a bug at their end? It probably should be opened as a bug report if that's the case. x0vncserver is not what I regard as usable except perhaps in an emergency. IIRC the doc says it's intended to be used, it's just a coding example. regards, Peter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
