Apple pulled a number out of the air for the protocol version. With
RealVNC 4, it is close enough to the real number that the viewer picks the
wrong encoding. I also believe there are other incompatibilities, but you
will have to look at the RealVNC list for more details.
I believe people have had some success with the Windows version of
VNCViewer 4.1.2, which has an option to force it to use the older 3.3
protocol. I don't know if 4.0 for Linux implemented this option.
