Hi,
The client shows a weird resizing bug. I want to know what I can do to analyse this further and report it as a bug. I've mentioned this already earlier on the [X2Go-User] mailing list [1]. I've seen you mentioning on the irc channel but you did not react to my questions. Thx for posting it here. At times, one has to eat :-)
I'm surprised that I'm the only one seeing this, because I see it on all the environments that I work on. That is, Obviously you are, I have not heard of this kind of bug before.
That is probably because you're not using the standard Ubuntu desktop. Or are you?
on all PCs where I am logged in with the standard Ubuntu desktop.
My client is Ubuntu (with Ubuntu desktop) and the server side is Ubuntu with a Mate (or Openbox or XFCE) session. Also worthwhile to mention that I don't have my x2go client full screen.
When I move(!) the X2GO window, it resizes(!). And when I keep the mouse clicked on the top bar for the move, (and even if I don't move anymore) it keeps resizing until it reaches the maximum height of my local monitor. BTW. That maximum monitor height is not(!) the maximum height of my local window manager. The maximum height for the X2GO client window is the monitor height minus the height of the top bar. This sounds like a bug in the _local_ window manager. Do you also see that when replacing the local window manager with e.g. openbox (openbox --replace)?
When I run the Mate desktop then the problem does not exist. (I may try the suggested openbox --replace in a virtualbox, centainly not on my normal PC environments, at home, at work.)
That tells me there is a bug when the X2GO client is used from an Ubuntu desktop. The question is, how can we find out where the bug is?
Again, I'm surprised that no X2GO user has seen this bug. It makes me wonder if I'm the only one running X2GO from an Ubuntu desktop.
