Back to this topic after a couple of months of other activities... Our initial look at Citrix's ICA seems to imply that they too are using the Shape Extension technique to implement seamless windows. So the trend suggests that we should expect that to be the predominant way "seamless" remote or VM windows will get rendered.
I don't see how these apps (VBox, Citrix, etc) could possibly do the right thing and wrap a labeled border around these windows. For one, how do they even know that they need to and if they did, I don't think they would be trusted to do so. So it would seem that the best/only way to do this securely is for the Window manager to do it. Or is this purely in the domain of the Shape Extension - we need a "trusted" shape extension that can draw window labels at the appropriate places? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ security-discuss mailing list [email protected]
