OK, I discovered that windows vncviewer does NOT cause this problem.  However,
when the problem was caused by the linux vncviewer, the windows vncviewer also had
the problem (since I tried linux first, then windows).  So it definitely looks
like a server problem.  I'll try an older server and see if the problem goes away.

Otherwise, anyone know of a fix?
