To summarize:
There seems to be three general ideas for fixing vnc4server on Ubuntu.

1. -extension XFIXES (an addition to Xvnc execution)

2. Fixing the Font Path

3. Compiling against the newer version of Xorg.

=======================

1. -extension XFIXES (an addition to Xvnc execution)

This seems to have fixed getting as far as a login prompt for most. For others the fix has worked much further but mixed results were reported.

2. Fixing the Font Path

Wasn't there an issue with the font path?

Maybe somebody can check it against the xorg.conf file to see if it is
correct.

I used to enable the font server and dig into the vncserver script to
change it to query a tcp port for fonts. In the LTSP project this used
to be an option to specify a font server for the X Servers to connect to.
