Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

Ubuntu 8.10

When I launch Terminal Server client, with both protocols RDP and RDPv5 gnome hangs on. It doesn't permit to do anything, even changing the desktop area. I suppose it's terminal server related because it starts to work again when I go to a terminal and kill tsclient process.
I hope it's useful.

this is not a gnome-utils bug, but probably a xorg one, may you submit please attach your X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) and configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) ? thanks in advance.

This happens to me also with the vnc protocol. When I connect using the Terminal Server Client the desktop hangs as soon as the client window appears.
If I kill tsclient within a terminal (opening the terminal with a keyboard shortcut ), the desktop resumes and the vncviewer window works too.
For example:
- I open a new connection launching tsclient
- I put the vnc client password. The vncviewer appears showing the client desktop, then everything freeze.
- I open the terminal with a keyboard shortcut. the "ps fax" command print these lines at the end:
18929 ? S 0:00 tsclient
18973 ? S 0:00 \_ vncviewer -geometry 1280x960 ib
- Killing the tsclient process 18929 unfreeze everything
