I assume this is still fixed? It makes me nervous, as it seems like we don't really know whether this was a bug in TurboVNC that you just worked around or whether it was a more systemic issue that would have occurred with any full-screen application. If it was a bug in TurboVNC, then it's something I want to fix.
