Bug Description
# Impact
When using seamless applications such as Rdesktop, the window manager needs to send ConfigureNotify events. This is specified in ICCCM section 4.1.5. Without it, software will hang and wait for a response.
This greatly impacts corporate and enterprise users that are trying to integrate Microsoft Windows applications using Rdesktop.
# Proposed Fix
A patch has been created here and should be merged:
Patch for 3.18 branch which was used for Xenial upload is here:
# Test Case
Use rdesktop in seamless mode:
rdesktop "%ProgramFiles%
This requires server with windows that is setup for remote access. Also extra software is needed:

Opening multiple seamless windows and trying to switch between them should not cause any noticeable delays / hangs.
# Regression Potential
The reporter has verified the fix, and it works. It has also been in Zesty since Mar 20th and so far nobody complained.
