VNC Viewer under Solaris does not pass ctrl + mouse keys to host???

[Fred]

I run vncviewer and server on solaris 8, sometimes on the
same host.  Sometimes in fullscreen mode, sometimes not,
sometimes with the viewer under twm, sometimes no
windowing system.

Never had a problem with ALT-mousebutton
or Ctrl-Mousebutton.  Maybe that key/button combination
has special meaning for the windowing system of which
vncviewer is a client; maybe the windowing system is
intercepting them?
