Does TightVNC work with KDE4


Hi. I have TightVNC installed. It works fine serving Gnome and KDE3.x Desktops. But if I try to serve a KDE4 desktop i just get a black page in the viewer on a windows or a Linux client.

I've tried two different computers as servers and two different computers as clients.

This server failure on KDE4 occurs in openSUSE 11.0 and 11.1 beta4 and 11.1RC1

Has anyone seen this problem or know of a solution or has a comment -- or any thoughts?

Thanks
Swerdna

Maybe it would help if I provided this log of the connection attempt:
