I'm running VNC 3.3.6 on RH Linux 7.2, and I've been encountering a problem
where 'utmp' entries, created during an X session (running under VNC), do
not seem to be getting deleted once I kill the VNC server.  This leads to
corruption of the utmp file, and invalid 'who' command results.

Notes:
1) I've changed my $HOME/.vnc/xstartup file to the following:
    #!/bin/sh
    xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
    /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients

2) I recently upgraded to VNC 3.3.6 from 3.3.3.  So to be fair, the problem
may not exist with the new VNC, and what I have is left-over corruption.  I
plan to reboot... which normally resets the utmp file... but I can't afford
to be doing this on a regular basis, of course.

3) I'm killing the vncserver without first logging off of my X session.
Should this make any difference?

Has anyone else observed this problem?  Does anyone know how to fix the
problem?
