That's it, at least for Linux.  I put "vncconfig -nowin &" as a line in
~/.vnc/xstartup before running gnome-session and it works now!

However, that change doesn't work using a Solaris server (olvwm) with
Windows viewer.  TightVNC does work for Solaris copy/paste (see my
~/.vnc/xstartup below).  Any ideas on Solaris?

Thanks!

Are you running "vncconfig -nowin" on the server?
Your xstartup file needs to contain the line: vncconfig -nowin&
before launching the window manager.
