2007-12-17 Thread Patrick Rynhart
Public bug reported: I'm using the vnc4server package on Ubuntu 7.10. When a user runs multiple VNC server sessions (each running a GNOME desktop session) then killing one of the VNC sessions causes the GNOME applets in the others to crash. Steps to reproduce: 1) Modify ~/.vnc/xstartup to #!/b

Notes: 1. This issue appears to apply only to remote X11 sessions, i.e. non-console X11 sessions such as xrdp & tightvnc. 2. This is not specificially a tightvnc session (but was first observed as affecting remote VNC sessions only). 3. Drag & Drop is broken through the GNOME desktop session, e.

I can confirm Yann's observation as this issue occurring approximately 1 in 5 startups. If you have the Compiz Fusion icon installed then you can right click, "Reload Window Manager" (which I presume is equivalent to "gtk-window-decorator --replace" as detailed by the bug reporter). -- No window
