Partially drawn X windows ...

[Chris Jobson]

Hi

I have tried checking the archives for info on this but without success (the search
facility doesn't seem to be working at the moment ...)

I have the following setup:

* VNC server 3.3.3r2 running on Solaris 2.8
* VNC viewer on Win 2K
* Java swing app displaying to VNC X server

When the app draws a window, quite often (75% or more) the window is only
partially filled in: the bottom 10% or so is left undrawn.  As this contains the
part of the screen with navigation buttons, I find it hard to use the application ;-)

The app in question is Install Shield's ISMP 4.5.1 Java Multi Platform Installer,
which is being used to install another application on the Solaris box.

I find that if I kill the app, and restart (say three or four times) eventually I will
get enough of the window drawn to expose the nav buttons and so I can proceed
with the install.  Interestingly, once the first screen is OK, subsequent screens seem
to work just fine.

This problem doesn't manifest itself on the normal X server - just the VNC one.

Is this a known issue with a solution or workaround?

I suspect that this might be some general issue with Java swing generated windows,
but the sample set is limited (just one!)

thanks

chris
