[Discussion] VNC" Will not accept/respond to just the 'Ctrl' key

[Carl Gehr]

Yep!  No different than hitting the key.  Small box on title
bar flashes, nothing happens on the remote side.

I suspect the problem is on the server rather than the viewer.
But, I have no way to prove it.

Thanks for any/all suggestions, though...
