Some windows are like that.  Telnet is an example of an application that
doesn't use Paint messages properly.  For programs that don't, it's
usually sufficient to click in them, or on their title-bar to get them to
refresh.

Is the server still running OK when you have to stop the viewer?  If
Ctrl-C and then start a new viewer, does the server accept it?
