[X2Go-Dev] wmctrl problems

[Jean-Francois Dagenais]

Hi all,

Running x2go server on ubuntu (12.04), and my terminal is a mac running XQuartz
(with quartz-wm) and the Qt x2go client.

I used the Published apps rootless and spawn a few windows from the server.
Things run pretty smoothly and Im happy with the performance.

The thing that hurts is related to window management. Heres a relevant output:
$ echo $DISPLAY
:50
$ wmctrl -l
Cannot get client list properties.
(_NET_CLIENT_LIST or _WIN_CLIENT_LIST)
$ wmctrl -m
Cannot get window manager info properties.
(_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK or _WIN_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK)

Whereas if I run the same commands natively on the mac, XQuartz responds
correctly to wmctrl.

So the problem affects pretty much all tools related to window management I
tried.

I am no X11 expert, but I am a developer and very familiar with linux systems.
Right now I just need a few pointers, any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
