I use vnc rather than x11vnc. I don't explicitly run vncserver, I load
it as a module in xorg,conf:

Section "Module"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "fbdevhw"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "freetype"
        Load  "type1"
        Load  "vnc"
        Load  "v4l"
        Load  "vbe"
EndSection

When I connect using VNC viewer my MePo-wide themed frontend displays
fine. But if I need a 2nd session and I run vncserver from the command
line on the MythTV box and then connect to that with VNC viewer, my
MePo theme won't highlight the menu items. Other themes such as
MythCenter work properly, it just seems to be MePo. Vncserver doesn't
seem to have an option for -noxdamage so that won't fix it.

Any ideas?
