Package: virt-viewer Version: 1.0-1 Severity: important [ x-d-cc: debian-b...@lists.debian.org ]
Hi, Trying to use xdotool (either on the command line or through its xdo python bindings) fails when sending key events to a specific virt-viewer window. In this case, XSendEvent is used instead of XTEST, which doesn't seem to be supported by virt-viewer, and anything sent this way is ignored. It's possible to raise the virt-viewer window and then send key events without specifying a target window, which is implemented using XTEST in xdotool, but that means messing up with the focus in the surrounding window environment, which is highly impractical. I've also tried switching from default spice to vnc, still no luck. No changes when I tried 5.0-1 from a sid chroot. Any help/suggestion welcome, it prevents me from automating d-i tests with libvirt. (While they do run fine with a “bare” kvm.) KiBi.
