I just tried "mozilla" and "xchat" as found from openqnx
project site, none of them have the warning. so they are
not using the render extention. "nedit" seems to use it.

anyway, as I mentioned earlier, the application should
still work despite of the warnings.
let's hope vnc will add RENDER extensions soon.
Please make your voice heard in the vnc mailing list :)
