The patch makes me nervous; passing on GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS looks to me
(from my admittedly non-expert reading) to potentially break a number of
other things. Supposedly, Flash support in Web browsers relies on
non-native windows, among other things.
There's an alternative way to get GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS set on just the
panel. Move /usr/bin/gnome-panel to /usr/bin/gnome-panel.bin and create
the following shell script as /usr/bin/gnome-panel:
-----
#!/bin/sh
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS
exec /usr/bin/gnome-panel.bin
-----
It's a hack (and will be undone next time gnome-panel updates, and leave
the gnome-panel.bin file behind as cruft), but if you do that and
gnome-panel works properly under synergy, then we've confirmed that
setting native windows on just the panel will fix the problem.
Once we've figured that out, we can see if the gnome-panel folks in
Debian are willing to accept a more permanent fix, or if anyone with
Synergy upstream has an idea what might be going on.
