unix vncviewer: strange behaviour

Hi there!

I think I just discovered a little bug in unix vncviewer:

While testing a new server (x0rfbserver), I discovered that the unix
vncviewer does not behave like the win vncviewer or xrfbviewer. When
transfering a large framebuffer (e.g. 1280x1024x16) the viewer splits
the framebuffer into 5 pieces. Then it sends 5 non incremental
framebuffer update requests to get the different pieces. It's ok so far.
The problem is that it requests a complete incremental framebuffer
update after each update received, so it requests five incremental
updates at once. This can get the protocol out of sync.
