The problem is that that I have no contact with upstream because they do not have any bug submit form. I could bring it up on the vnc mailinglist but I do not think I will get any response from upstream there. If you want to take this issue forward I suggest that you ask on the vnc mailinglist. http://www.realvnc.com/lists.html The reason for this is that I do not think this is trivial to fix without going really deep into the code. I could do that but I do not really have the time for that.
