I just installed NetBSD 3.0 from scratch on a XEN user domain (domain0 happens to be fresh, too). I grabbed the recently released 2005Q4 pkgsrc and made gnome, vnc, etc., from sources My .vnc/xstartup execs gnome-session, so I have a Gnome desktop on my VNC server. This has worked just fine with older versions of these components, but now some of the text has strange background shading. See one of these links for a visual:
http://www.engholm.org/tmp/gnome.tif (a TIFF file) http://www.engholm.org/tmp/gnome.bmp (the same thing as a BMP file)
That looks like a colormap problem. It's the sort of thing I would expect to see for an application doing shading effects on an 8-bit display when it's unable to grab all the colours it needs and is not using a private colormap.
Joel,
Thanks for the second reply. I don't think this is what the problem is, however. I have seen the effect of which you speak on other occasions. The reason I think this is different is because the problem goes with the client, not the server. I have two hosts, flash and robin. Robin is the one on which clients exhibit the problem. Gvim-gtk2 seems to be the easiest to see, as shown in the pictures at the links. If I run the gvim on robin, the blue strips show up regardless of whether the display is robin or flash. If flash's gvim is run, the blue stripes do not occur, even on robin's display. Further, I believe that this is a GTK issue, since only GTK programs seem to be affect. I just can't understand why I'm the only one with this problem.
I even installed NetBSD-3.0 on yet another XEN domain and installed the Gnome packages (compiled on robin) and that host had the same issue. Just now, I pkg_deleted vim-gtk2 and installed vim-xaw. It does not have the blue lines.
