Re: extension "RENDER" missing

VNC's X server is quite old and lacks some of the newer
X extensions such as the Xrender. If you run XFree on
the console directly (which is most of us doing), you
will get a full X server and won't have those warnings.

"any" x application is probably a big statement :)
you will only get this warning if the x application uses
those newer extensions. "xcalc", for example, doesn't
use xrender feature, while "xclock" does.

With more and more X applications starting to take
advantage of those newer X protocol extensions, you will
probably see more of those warnings in VNC X server.

btw, "xdpyinfo -ext all" should show you which extensions
are supported, which are not, for your X server.
try it on a true X server and within VNC's X server,
or on a MS Windows x server (Exceed or ReflectionX),
you will see the differences...
