These programs might be used remotely, or in a nested X session, or a VNC session, for example. I realise there are ways and means, but I suspect the stock VNC server from RealVNC won't support that extension (theory untested).
I have in the past (not currently) run servers hosting desktops, accessible via VNC. IE.. not the distro's stock X server. In truth, the suggestion to fix this was more about "correctness" than whether it is likely the bug would be hit. -- upgrade to 2:1.2.99.2-0ubuntu1 makes session utterly slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
