Remote Access to Desktop with TightVNC

[diegofl]

Hello.
I'm new to openSUSE, i have installed it for the first time last weekend and it's great!.

The thing is... i'm having some troubles with remote desktop administration using VNC.

I have openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4. I enabled remote desktop sharing with KDE4 and also installed TightVNC server through Yast.

What i want to do is access to openSUSE desktop remotely and i can do that but from the client computer (using TightVNC viewer on Windows Vista) i see some rectangles with weird colors.

Clicking on this link you can see what i mean by wierd colors.

Could this be a misconfiguration?.

Any help is greatly apprecitated.
