           Summary: VNC Viewer causes odd display of terminal output
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: chimera1976 at hotmail.com


Version:           2.0.1 (using KDE KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          Redhat 8.0 RPM (not compiled by me) RPM, not source
OS:          Linux

The konsole does not display properly when using the VNC client.  I used a standard installation of the VNC client (no special configuration options).

Here are some details that might be useful:
-The issue appears in both KDE and GNOME destkop environments

-The display resolution through the VNC view is: 1280x1024

-Standard installation of RedHat 8.0

-Does not happen in a non-VNC mode (using the real display)

-This is the first, and only view of VNC server running on the host machine exhibiting the issue.

-Does not occur with the "konsole" binary shipped with KDE 2.2.2 on Debian.

I get this message when I type "konsole&":

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":1.0".

The display prompt looks similar to this:

root at hostname                /tmp]#       |

And when I type all my text is evenly spaced like so:

"    cd   /  r  o  o  t"


I've tried all the session types, fonts, and I've played with different settings and preferences trying to make it work, but the problem does not go away.

I've not found any work arounds, and others I know have experienced the same issue (using the same platform).
