Thanks for the response, Tim. You mentioned you've seen this on 4.0 beta... But we've had the same thing happen when using 3.3.3, the latest TightVNC, and 4.0b.
NTPD is currently off in all run levels. I'll check up a bit on the idle timeout possibility...

Are you running NTP on the server? Does the problem still persist if you turn off the NTP daemon?
