Bug Description
[Impact]
When VNC'ing into gnome-session-
[Test Case]
Vivid new install setup for tightvncserver:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install xrdp gnome-session-
#START
export XDG_CURRENT_
exec gnome-session --session=
#END
sudo nano /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
change to:
#START
[globals]
bitmap_cache=yes
bitmap_
port=3389
crypt_level=high
channel_code=1
max_bpp=24
#black=000000
#grey=d6d3ce
#dark_grey=808080
#blue=08246b
#dark_blue=08246b
#white=ffffff
#red=ff0000
#green=00ff00
#background=626c72
[xrdp1]
name=sesman-Xvnc
lib=libvnc.so
username=ask
password=ask
ip=127.0.0.1
port=-1
#END
Log out, log back in, and RDP in via either Windows Remote Desktop Connection or Remmina.
[Regression Potential]
This patch adds an additional check for modmask. It is already in upstream metacity.
WORKAROUND: Applications > System Tools > System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Disable all shortcuts containing the Super key.
WORKAROUND: Don't use the .xsession file with tightvncserver, but this then creates a shared desktop experience, instead of ones own, not seen by the user at the local console.
