Last modified: 2009-09-03 12:08:09 UTC
This bug comes from http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=9790 Steps: 1. Enable Vino Server from System -> Preferences -> Desktop Sharing 2. Connect the server from another machine via vncviewer 3. Try to launch a terminal from the right-click menu Expected result: The terminal is launched locally and remotely Actual result: The terminal is launched locally but remote desktop does not refreshed The user should disconnect and reconnect to the server, then can see the terminal is launched. It is reproducible on OpenSolaris b122 and Ubuntu 9.10 with compiz enabled.
This is a known issue. Actually, an issue in xorg: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12255 A workaround for vino is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533613 which adds a gconf key: /desktop/gnome/remote_access/disable_xdamage *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 533613 ***
