vnc 4.0 viewer full-screen bug?

[Matt Unwin]

I recently installed the vnc 4.0 on two windows 2000 machines, and I've 
noticed that full-screen mode no longer works like it did in 3.3.7.  Under 
3.3.7, the viewer would occupy the whole screen, including covering up the 
taskbar at the bottom of the screen.  However, with vnc 4.0, using 
full-screen mode covers up everything except the task bar.  This means that 
if the remote system is using the same resolution as the client, the task 
bar is inaccessible in full screen mode.  If the remote system is using a 
higher resolution, bump-scrolling along the bottom edge of the screen 
doesn't work, since the task bar of the client machine steals the focus from 
the viewer.  (bump-scrolling works on the right, left, and top edges of the 
screen, however.)

I've seen this on two different windows 2000 clients.  I don't have any 
other machines to test with, so I'm not sure I can replicate the problem on 
other operating systems.  On one system, if I maximize the window before 
selecting full-screen, then the window covers up the task bar, and the 
viewer works like it did in 3.3.7.  I was not able to reproduce this 
behavior on the other system.  The system where I found the work-around is a 
fairly basic install of windows 2000 (Office 97, outlook, etc) and has all 
of the latest updates from Microsoft.  The other machine is owned by a 
friend so I'm not sure how up to date it is.

Has anyone else seen this problem?  Anyone know a work-around that works 
consistently?

BTW: using the 3.3.7 viewer with a 4.0 server works, (full-screen mode works 
as expected) but then you don't get the new features of the 4.0 viewer...

Thanks!
