Thanks to Joost Witteveen (he gave me an account on his machine where
everything worked as it should) I figured out the problem. It turns out
to be a server problem. VNC server 4 (from backports.org) fixes the
problem and it all works flawlessly again! It's just a shame that it
didn't work when I tried to show off to a fellow colleague the power of
grace as opposed to excel, ;-)
