Trying to VNC to my university and I am getting an X-window which:
a)takes ages to load - in stages (loading separately the diff. colours)
b) has entirely wrong colour scheme (starts as green and becomes orange!)
I do not understand this errors - please have a look below.
If you have any ideas I would appreciate your help
