Hello everyone,

Ubuntu has a bug on VNC / desktop environment.

Please see the movies that I've made:

I set up the remote desktop on ubuntu and I connect to my current ubuntu's desktop with the VNC viewer. It is working, I see the mouse cursor, but I cannot see the files while I'm dragging them.
Another friend of mine has THE SAME problem.
I have installed and configurated NX server, and the problem is the same.
If I connect with the nx client, using a different session, I can control my desktop, I can drag windows and files, but if I'm using the shadow option from the nx client program, then I cannot drag windows and files.

I have the same problem ..
been hunting around, but this is the first time I've found any record of it.
I've tried RealVNC and UltraVNC from windows, neither clients are able to maintain the connection, but the VNC client on my Mac (Mac OS 10.5 Leopard) seems to work fine!
