You mean realvnc?  The race condition is due to it's use of 
SetPixelFormat.  By slowing the updates, what you're really doing is 
just working around that race condition.  That's not a proper solution 
though.
This goes away if you set the realvnc options so that it doesn't change 
the pixel format from what the server specifies.
