Chris,
I have to apologize. Turning off segmentation offloading may work as well.
Just now it fixed VNC issue on bare metal - CentOS 5.2 with Atansic Gigabit
Ethernet driver (ASUS P5KR) . I gonna try it at DomUs at my earliest
convenience.
Boris.

Yes, I've been seeing this too (and meant to investigate it before
claiming there's abug) and I can confirm that turning off segmentation
offloading "cures" the problem here too.
Now the tcpdump on Dom0 looks interesting. It repeatedly sees a packet
with 2880 byte from DomU coming in, which is then dropped and ICMP
"fragmentation needed" sent back, the DomU resends a 1440 byte packet
(after some delay), which then goes through, but then the next one is a
2880 byte one again, and so on.
FYI: My Dom0 is running NAT, in case this is relevant.
Christophe
