The unix-based vncserver does only update the actual updates in the screen. This 
in contrary to the M$Windows based server, which polls the screen or parts of it.

The vncviewer can request an update as it does on startup. Hit <F8> and select 
RefreshScreen if needed.

If you feel it as an error, best to send it as such
