Ah, the narrows the problem down a bit. Perhaps there's something in our
XF86Config-4 we should look at? I don't have physical access to my
server at the moment so I can't try it on the server directly.

With current KDE (3.2.3) in Sarge, some icons invert colors when selected and
then look a bit ugly because I only have 16bit colors with my Voodoo3.
I put a screen grab up on my homepage:

I scaled the image to exactly twice the size to make the problem more
apparent.

The vnc client on the xp machine does not understand x, it recieves the
screen updates as image data compressed with various user defineable
image compression techniques. So for a debian system, apt-get either:
tightvncserver or vncserver. Edit your /etc/vnc.conf (to select screen
resolution, screendepth etc.) and then start your server with "vncserver
:1". Now you can connect to the server with a windows vnc client.
But I believe it's possible to set up something more sophisticated using
the x-server from cygwin, but I have never tried that.

Fredrik
