AFAIK, "remove wallpaper" doesn't work properly period on Win2k or NT - I've tried it before, it removes the wallpaper when the VNC viewer connects, but on disconnect it restores the default user's wallpaper instead of the current user's. This is a known issue, the maintainer's page has a blurb that says he knows.

Turning it off will assist in finding the root of the problem.
