Upstream does not maintain Thightvnc on Linux any more. Thus, resizing the window will not become available in the viewer.

severity 533904 wishlist thanks Hi Michal On Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 03:31:03PM +0200, Michal Suchanek wrote: Package: xtightvncviewer Version: 1.3.9-4 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/xtightvncviewer When the vnc server changes to smaller resolution vncviewer just displays it in top left corener of the previous larger window. You can change the size of the vnc server? When the server changes to a larger resolution vncviewer exits. Not a surprise. What's so difficult about resizing the window? Vnc was implemented in the days when X could not change the size so it is not part of the protocol simply. This would probably apply to the case when scrollbars make the client area smaller but the window is not resized accordingly. So I'll change this bug to a wishlist bug as this is a feature request.

Bug#533904: /usr/bin/xtightvncviewer: allow resizing the window to match server resolution
Package: xtightvncviewer Version: 1.3.9-4 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/xtightvncviewer When the vnc server changes to smaller resolution vncviewer just displays it in top left corener of the previous larger window. When the server changes to a larger resolution vncviewer exits. What's so difficult about resizing the window? This would probably apply to the case when scrollbars make the client area smaller but the window is not resized accordingly. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xtightvncviewer depends on: ii libc6 2.9-13GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice62:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library ii libxaw72:1.0.4-2 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmu62:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm41:3.5.7-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages xtightvncviewer recommends: ii xfonts-base 1:1.0.0-5 standard fonts for X Versions of packages xtightvncviewer suggests: pn ssh none (no description available) pn tightvncservernone (no description available) -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
