As it appears now it seems that the logon option causes a desktop switch
(not the screensaver). For some reason winvnc4 seems to be unable to
switch to this new desktop.

OpenInputDesktop() is the function that fails. According to the platform documentation: "The OpenInputDesktop function retrieves a handle to the desktop that receives user input. The input desktop is a desktop on the window station associated with the logged-on user."

That text is why I use the term desktop and assumed that the password
protection creates another desktop.

        Normally, even VNC3 is unable to switch to other screen.  A VNC is "attached" to a display, whether it is in 
console or in TS session.  But when you talked about "new desktop", I wonder if you're using "Remote 
desktop" functionality in WinXP.  This is somehow incompatible to VNC because this technology uses "virtual" 
displays that VNC can't capture.

So, your problem is solved? Glad to hear so.

That depends on your definition of 'solved'. IMHO disabling the 'On resume, password protect' is more like a work-around.

I need to do some testing to be sure, but in my memories the old servers
(3.3.7) and derivates like Tight and Ultr@ are handling this correctly
while 4.0b4 does not.

As I said, I'll try to figure out what is going on and make a case out
of it.

Feico.
