When I have a vncviewer window open and switch virtual desktops on my host system I sometimes (about 25% of the time) find that the vncviewer has crashed with an error like the following: Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.3 Performing standard VNC authentication VNC authentication succeeded Desktop name "saturn.c2micro.com:2 (dan)" VNC server default format: 32 bits per pixel.
