Hi Guys,
I've found some inconsistent X2GO client behaviour, and was hoping someone
could shed
some light.
In short, it seems that the C++ x2goclient for Mac is able to handle "session
resizing" correctly,
but Pyhoca-GUI for Linux isn't, even though they are configured with exaclty
the same
session parameters.
Specifically:
--- when I start a GNOME-fallback session using the Pyhoca-GUI for Linux, the
remote desktop appears with a "constant geometry", where resizing the local
session
window simply crops the view of the remote GNOME-fallback desktop.
-- on the other hand, using the C++ x2go client for Mac, I can successfuly
resize the
local session window, and the remote GNOME-fallback desktop also resizes
automatically.
-- strangely, I can get Pyhoca-GUI to *also* resize properly if I do the
following:
1) Start a GNOME-fallback session with the C++ x2goclient for Mac, then
suspend the session.
2) Use Pyhoca-GUI for linux to resume the session in 1). Then, Pyhoca-GUI
is able
to handle session resizing properly, ie, resizing the local session
window will resize the
remote GNOME desktop.
This last point suggests that the resizing issue is not a GNOME bug, but an
issue with the X2GO client.
Also, let me mention how this relates to the bug in http://bugs.x2go.org/42.
Using the C++ x2goclient for Mac, I verified that this happens:
o with GNOME3 the window appears in the expected size and then gets resized
from inside the starting up GNOME3 session
but these don't:
o I can manually resize the window afterwards via the client-side window
manager (play with your mouse on the window borders...)
o Still, the desktop shell inside does not adapt its size
On the contrary, the C++ X2goclient is able to perform the auto-resizing
correctly.
Versions that I'm using:
-- C++ X2goclient for Mac, version 4.0.1.0
-- Pyhoca GUI for Linux, version 0.4.0.8
-- x2goagent: 3.5.0.20
-- x2goserver: 4.0.1.6
-- x2goserver-extensions: 4.0.1.6
-- x2goserver-pyhoca: 4.0.1.6
-- x2goserver-xsession: 4.0.1.6
A last, related question that perhaps someone can point me in the right
direction:
I'd like to implement a "stretch/compress" resizing behaviour, where:
--- the resolution of the remote GNOME-fallback session is always constant (say
1280x720).
--- when the user resizes the local session window, it does *not* modify the
resolution of the
remote GNOME-fallback session, but simply distorts it (stretch/compress)
so that it fits
the window exactly.
Is this possible at all? If so, where should I start looking to implement this
feature?
Many thanks,
Pedro
