Package: x2goclient
Version: 3.99.2.2
Severity: minor
It is currently impossible to control x2goclient on Mac OS X using
AppleScript, except for blindly sending keypress commands.
So,
tell application "x2goclient"
activate
end tell
tell application "x2goclient"
set miniaturized of window 1 to true
end tell
fails, while
tell application "x2goclient"
activate
tell app "system events"
keystroke "h" using command down
end tell
end tell
works *unless* x2goclient is currently busy (e.g. performing a login
sequence), in which case the command is ignored.
A well-behaved app can be controlled like explained here:
http://laclefyoshi.blogspot.de/2010/10/google-chrome-ver.html
(drag and drop app icon on AppleScript editor icon; list of available
properties shows up)
Trying this with x2goclient returns an error message that x2goclient is
not scriptable.
