osx viewer + fedora vnc server

[James Weatherall]

Hi Tim,

Yuk - sounds like the viewer's getting itself tied in a knot.  Are the
servers standard VNC Enterprise Edition builds?

If possible, please report the problem via
http://www.realvnc.com/support.html, and our engineering team will look into
it.

Cheers,
