 In meantime time i see,  that 2.6.30-rc3&rc2&rc1-tip are affected.
Solution is the same as on Solaris xVM Linux DomUs about one
year ago -  is  to disable checksum (nothing else) offloading at Linux DomUs ( CentOS 5.3, Ubuntu 9.04)

/usr/local/sbin/ethtool -K etho tx off

It immediately brings remote VNC connections to the nice shape.
Actually , speeds up network. 

I will run "tcpdump" through this weekend to find out what's going
wrong. To be honest,  i have experience with catching checksum offloading
failure via tcpdump's  capturing only on Solaris Nevada xVM ;)
But, i'll post the logs captured anyway.
Just a brief instruction where to run tcpdump ( and what command line keys are needed ) would help a lot.

Thanks
Boris

running at the same Xen 3.4 version Dom0 with Suse's 2.6.27.5 xen-ified
kernel behaves just fine.

Is it always consistent with the same kernel, or does it change from boot to
boot?

Could you try to work out what's actually failing with tcpdump/wireshark,
both from within the domU, and from dom0? Are packets getting lost on tx or rx,
or very delayed, or something else?

Thanks,
J
