Dear all,

This message concerns a longtanding bug bothering KDE users. Most likely the bug is with KDE and not NX, but perhaps someone here can help us find out exactly what's causing the problem.

First, a description of how things normally work with KDE's e-mail client, KMail: If one invokes the "New Message", "Forward", or "Reply" command on a message, a composer window opens. You can then type your message and send it, at which point the composer window closes. If you close KMail while one or more composer windows are still open, then the next time you launch KMail, those composer windows are restored so you can resume writing the messages where you left off.

The problem is that if you launch KMail from an NX session, the composer window usually doesn't appear when you invoke the "Forward" or "Reply" commands. I think the composer windows must be created, but for some reason they are not immediately visible, because if you quit and relaunch KMail (still over NX), the composer windows you created last time suddenly appear.

The problem happens usually but not always. (That is, sometimes when you launch KMail, the Forward and Reply commands will work for a time, but then they'll stop working, and will never work again for that session.) The problem also never happens with the "New message" command, even though to all outward appearances the same sort of composer window is being launched.

So far I've reproduced the problem with both NoMachine NX and x2go.

Anyone have any idea where the problem might lie? Is there some sort of fine-grained debug logging I can enable in x2go which prints a message every time it tries to display a new window?

Regards, Tristan

Silly question on my part but is there any chance the composer window is appearing under another window, perhaps the mail KMail window? - John
