Tristan--

Thanks very much for the patch.  I recompiled and I'm using it now.  It
does affect one thing:  I can now always see the F8 menu.  Before, under
certain conditions, the viewer used to crash as sooon as I hit F8 and
before the menu was displayed.  So this is a little better.

Here is one thing that *always* causes loss of the vncviewer:  Selecting
"Full screen" from the F8 menu when I am not already in full-screen mode.
The viewer pops into full-screen mode for less than one second, then it
disappears.  It is still running, but I can't see it.  I have to kill it
to get rid of it.  This is on Solaris 2.6 under OpenWindows.

Full screen seems to work fine if I start vncviewer with the -fullscreen
option.  But if I start without that option, I can never get to
full-screen monde.  And even if I start with -fullscreen, then go to a
regular window mode, I cannot return to full-screen mode.

Regards,

Mike
