The second issue is with the numpad keys. I had seen this issue previously only with a linux viewer connecting from 1 ubuntu machine to the server running Debian with DRC's Xvnc binary. It now seems to happen with the FLTK viewer on all platforms. By default, the numlock is on both on the local workstation and in the VNC session.

This is somewhat strange. I've never seen that Xvnc starts up with numlock enabled. Can you verify if this happens even if you start something basic such as an xterm? My guess is that the Ubuntu desktop or something similar activates numlock.

Since the VNC protocol lacks numlock sync, I recommend that you have numlock off in the Xvnc session. If you fail to locate what's activating numlock, you might want to try to removing Num_Lock from the xmodmap modifier map (ie xmodmap -e "remove mod2 = Num_Lock"). There's also a "numlockx" utility.
