James,
Thanks for the reply.
I'll try your suggestion, but another question: right now, the system timer
is broken on our Solaris system. (It goes back one hour every hour, so it's
stuck between say 1:10 pm and 2:10 pm on 2006-09-11.) The VNC log says
" VNCSConnST: Time has gone backwards - resetting idle timeout"
Could that cause the problem?
Cheers.

Stephen,
There was a bug in the standard X server codebase involving internal
timers
getting "lost" if they were active when an internal tick count rolled over
every ~48 days. You're running an old version of VNC server, so it's
quite
possible that this is the problem you're seeing.
Can you upgrade to the current release and see how that works for you?
Regards,
Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.

Subject: VNC servers growing stale, slow
We connect to a Solaris 5.9 box from MS Windows machines via
VNC. VNC
servers on Solaris box are realvnc v. 4.0; VNC viewers are
various versions,
mostly 4.0 and 4.2 though.
I've used VNC for years, and occasionally a bug will be
manifest whereby if
a server has been running for long enough (usually months,
perhaps weeks),
it gets "stale" and is very slow, or even frozen. I've never
looked into it
enough to know why this happens, to what extent it's an
identified bug in
VNC (versus something in X, etc).
Now, however, even fairly newly created servers are getting
stale. There
doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason whether a server goes
stale or not;
some don't seem to, others do.
My guess is that this isn't a VNC bug, but a problem with the
Solaris box
(probably software), though for all I know it could be a
network problem.
How do I go about troubleshooting this? (I peeked in some of
the VNC server
logs and didn't see anything of interest.)
TIA,
S
