--- Begin Message ---Package: gnome-shell Version: 3.14.2-3+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Log in to some remote host with SSH - enabling X forwarding, the start a remote client - say, xterm, gnome-terminal, emacs(24). Grab a corner of the X window and resize the window (larger or smaller) * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I tried both types of forwarding of X (-X and -Y) * What was the outcome of this action? The content of the client window isn't resized propely in response to the X window result - e.g., in XTerm, lines are cut off, in Emacs, there the new space is left black, etc. * What outcome did you expect instead? I'd expect the client content to follow the new size of the X window. Note, while it fails as outlined above for Emacs24, it still works for Emacs23. So I did: ldd /usr/bin/emacs23 | sort -u | sed 's/([0-9a-fx]*)//' > e23 ldd /usr/bin/emacs24 | sort -u | sed 's/([0-9a-fx]*)//' > e24 diff -u -w e23 e24 and got: --- Start diff --- --- e23 2015-03-23 00:29:10.741510030 +0100 +++ e24 2015-03-23 00:29:10.769510282 +0100 @@ -1,6 +1,12 @@ /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 + libacl.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libacl.so.1 libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2 libatk-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libatk-1.0.so.0 + libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libatk- bridge-2.0.so.0 + libatspi.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libatspi.so.0 + libattr.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libattr.so.1 + libbz2.so.1.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.so.1.0 + libcairo-gobject.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo- gobject.so.2 libcairo.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2 libcroco-0.6.so.3 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcroco-0.6.so.3 libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 @@ -10,35 +16,45 @@ libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 libexpat.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexpat.so.1 libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6 + libfftw3.so.3 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfftw3.so.3 libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1 libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6 libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 libgconf-2.so.4 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgconf-2.so.4 + libgdk-3.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0 libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux- gnu/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 -
