RDesktop full sceen mode bug in Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10

[Leigh Johnson]

Binary package hint: rdesktop

Details:

Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10
Rdesktop Version 1.6.0
Kernel 2.6.35-22-generic

When running rdesktop -f (full screen) the Unity desktop toolbars on the left and top of the screen react to the mouse, rather than the remote system. As a result, apps will launch from the left tookbar (rather than icons displayed in the rdesktop session) and it is impossible to click on any menu items or minimize/maximize/close buttons on a maximized window in the remote session.

It is a repeatable problem and has persisted through updates.

I don't know if this is an rdesktop or a Unity problem, but I'll be happy to test further per any suggestions here.

Thanks!

Apparently I can't type today. The title of this bug should (of course) read "RDesktop full SCREEN mode bug" and the bug description refers to the "left TOOLBAR", not "tookbar".

Sheesh!

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

do you still experience this? I tried to reproduce this, but fullscreen works just fine for me in unity.

[Vadim Ippolitov (vadipp)]

I can reproduce this bug, too. How can I w/a this and/or contribute to fixing this?

Forgot to mention: I've got Ubuntu Netbook edition 10.10. The list of packages is attached.

Sorry, but we're no longer maintaining the unity version from 10.10. Could you test with 11.04

[Vadim Ippolitov (vadipp)]

Alex,
I've upgraded to 11.04 and now this problem is not reproduced.
Thanks.

[Leigh Johnson (leigh-e-johnson)]

While the bug still occurs in 10.10, I can confirm that it is not a problem in 11.04. Incidentally, the issue also occurred with vncviewer in full-screen, so perhaps it was a Unity issue, rather than a problem with rdesktop itself.

Thanks!
