[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#510351: xfwm4 does fails to sent keyboard events to the xtightvncviewer vnc session

[Jelle de Jong]

Package: xfwm4
Version: 4.4.2-5
Severity: normal


xfwm4 does fails to sent keyboard events to the xtightvncviewer vnc session

When starting xtightvncviewer with -fullscreen on a system that runs
the xfwm4 window manager the keyevents fail to go to the svn session.

I tested the matchbox-window-manager and it worked fine there it also works 
fine without a window manager, the openbox window manager had the same issue.
I did not test metacity or any other window managers.

X environment: (without x-session-manager or x-window-manager set)
startx -> xfwm4 --daemon -> xfce4-terminal

I use the following server:
x11vnc -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -ncache -shared -forever -localhost -noxrandr -display :0

I use the following client:
xtightvncviewer -fullscreen -compresslevel 9 -quality 0 -bgr233 localhost:0

I would really like to see this issue go away.

Any ideas and comments?

Best regards,

Jelle de Jong
