There is not enough room for the 768 display plus the window border (adds ~20-30 pixels in height) so it puts in the scroll bar. You could try scaling it to 90% or something which will make it go away.

The screen the viewer is on is 1280x1024, the screen X11vnc is running 
on is 1360x768. There is more than enough room for the full height with 
all of the decorations. There should be no need for the vertical scroll 
bar. Apparently it is there to make room for the horizontal scroll bar, 
which would not be necessary if the tightvnc viewer would allow me to 
increase the height by that amount.

Please post all responses back to the list.
