why does my wallpaper paint?

[James Weatherall]

Guys,

Actually it is a bug - VNC server doesn't wait for long enough after
disabling the local wallpaper before trying to send an update to the viewer.
This results in the wallpaper being displayed, and then removed.  We're
adding a timeout in there to fix this problem.

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
