#38 Bad Access with MATE desktop
Have used TurboVNC 1.0.2 server/viewer without problems on Arch Linux.
Recently X11 Font Server (XFS) is apparently deprecated, requiring upgrading to TurboVNC 1.2.2.
MATE desktop on two systems gives repeatedly 'X Server Bad Access' never properly starting with TurboVNC 1.2.2. Still using TurboVNC 1.0.2 viewer. Bad Access happens asynchronous, so it is hard to get traceback.
Currently using TigerVNC 1.4.0 server and TurboVNC 1.0.2 viewer; noticing two things in MATE desktop, which never worked properly with TurboVNC, but work correctly in TigerVNC: The screensaver and lockscreen do not show. The notification area with dark theme shows wrong (light grey) background color.
Discussion
Can you test the 2.0 pre-release server?

I'm working on rolling this out within the next few months, so if this already fixes the issue, it doesn't make sense to spend much time fixing it in 1.2.x. TurboVNC 2.0 uses a much more modern X server code base.
Compiled the 2.0 pre-release and it works! Also the lockscreen, screensaver, notification-area background color and correct mouse-cursor icons. Thanks for a nice release.
