[opensuse-factory] icewm & vncserver

List,

There are two issues with vncserver:

(1) vncserver does not exit cleanly and remove the vncviewer window on
the
client requiring that either the client kill the vncviewer window (which leaves
a dead vncserver on the server, or you must ssh into the host running vncserver
and manually kill the stuck session with vncserver -kill :1. After issuing the
vncserver -kill, the vncviewer window is properly removed from the client
machine.

NOTE - the above is independent of the WM chosen for vncserver. It
happens
regardless of whether you have chosen TWM, icewm or kde as your desktop in
~/.vnc/xstartup

(2) resizing windows in icewm as the windows manager for vncserver
while using
the title bar of a window to shrink or grow the windows smaller or bigger
crashes the vncviewer session.
