Package: xvnc4viewer Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-30 Severity: normal I'm using vncviewer to connect from my laptop to a remote desktop on a system running debian sid, with gnome. In gnome, vino has been conigured to allow remote desktop control.
After I connect, I can exit using the popup menu with f8, and there is no problem. However, it's more natural for me to exit by using my window manager's (awesome) window close hotkey. If I have vncviewer open, and the remote desktop has epiphany or pidgin (or presumably, other gnome/gtk apps) open, a the text input area *focused* (ie, I've been remotely typing in it), and I close vncviewer in this latter way, an odd thing happens to the remote desktop. Typing on that machine's keyboard no longer works in any gnome/gtk apps. All keystrokes are dropped. I can, however, open gnome-terminal and type in that, also typing in openoffice writer's main input area works. (Neither of those apps is using a standard gtk/gnome edit widget, I think..) The only way I've found to recover is log out and back in. Perhaps this is a vino or gnome or even gtk bug? I don't know, but something is badly wrong if killing the vnc viewer can permanantly mess up the keyboard in gnome. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xvnc4viewer depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.1-9 GCC support library ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.3.1-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.1.4-2 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime xvnc4viewer recommends no packages. xvnc4viewer suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
