Bug Description
This is a small usability issue after connecting. The "friend's" desktop is on the "helper's" machine. Helper opens an app, say Firefox. Firefox's menu is obscured by the helper's remote desktop viewer Toolbar menu. If Toolbar menu is turned off, then the app's menu becomes visible.
At least on my machine, the Toolbar menu covered the friend's FF menu exactly, so I thought at first it simply wasn't working right and was cutting off the top of the friend's display. It took me a while to realize the top of the remote display was just hidden. It's confusing and a (even more) naive user might get caught out by it.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the software. I set it up on two machines, both ubuntu jaunty 9.04. Installed without a hitch using gdebi. And the first time I tried to connect, everything worked. As someone who's used vnc, vpn, and ssh, I'm hugely impressed!
