Jan, I get this exact error too when I use VNC and RDP on the same system, but not the black window - it just gives the error and goes no further. (RDP is the protocol used by MS Terminal Services and Remote Desktop). It connects okay but the error message comes up when you specify the password (I have my system setup to request a username and password).
I haven't been able to figure out quite what the combination is (everything in VNC is at the default setting, no parameter settinfs like you have) but I know I get the error if I use RDP and then try to use VNC - every time. The workaround I have come up with is using one or the other, but not both RDP and VNC on the same system. In my case the remote system is not running Win2003 but WinXP Pro.

When resized the screen is black. The connection is tunneled via SSH. VNC Server is only listening to local connections on port 5900 Running the viewer with somebody logged in on the server is working fine. Viewer connects without problems. Same result on 3 different systems. Any suggestions or ideas ?
