Public bug reported: When using seamless applications such as Rdesktop, the window manager needs to send ConfigureNotify events. This is specified in ICCCM section 4.1.5. Without it, software will hang and wait for a response.
A patch has been created here and should be merged: https://git.gnome.org/browse/metacity/commit/?h=gnome-3-24&id=f09967fc0f1d65fc7b5057b362b9657154a86079 I have hand tested this patch on GNOME 3.18 on 16.04 LTS and it works. We are requesting this to be merged. This greatly impacts corporate and enterprise users that are trying to integrate Microsoft Windows applications using Rdesktop. ** Affects: metacity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1675369 Title: Metacity Not Sending ConfigureNotify events To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1675369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
