Description:
Drag and Drop doesn't work.

neither in FVWM/ROX nor XFCE-Enviroment.

I tried to connect with realvnc-viewer (Windows) and tightvncviewer (Linux and Windows)
So it seems to be a tightvnc-server problem.
This task depends upon

I tried with FVWM inside vncserver, connected via vncviewer (both from tightvnc-1.3.10-5); I was able to drag/drop windows' borders to resize them.
Could you confirm that it also works for you with this recent version? Or provide details as to which specific drag-and-drops don't work?

Yes I can confirm. resizing and moving of windows is possible in both of FVWM and XFCE4.
To make my bug message more precise:

If I drag Objects in FVWM+ROX, fluxbox or XFCE (mostly files, Icons) dropping of these does not work under tightvnc.

I didnt try KDE/GNOME because I dint use it.

There is a new problem since last xorg-updates in tightvnc.
Maybe I should open a new bug report about this.

Colorsetting ( tried fvwm, fluxbox) doesnt work.

I fixed it by using Images for using with xset-root and Window and Menu styles.
An example:

$ xsetroot -display :1.0 -solid black
$ xsetroot: unknown color "black"

Whereas these commands work under non vnc xorg.

I don't use icons, but if drag-and-drop works on windows but not on icons, I suspect a bug of the WM, since the VNC protocol makes no difference between those.
Edit: I might be wrong on that - if I am, there will be upstream (tightvnc) bug reports for this, right? (If there is none, I suggest you open one, I don't think much can be done at packaging-level.)

As for setting a black background, do "xsetroot -display :1.0 -solid rgb:00/00/00" (I guess vncserver doesn't define default color names somehow).
