GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 647475
meta_window_is_remote() without WM_CLIENT_MACHINE set
Last modified: 2011-04-13 14:47:46 UTC
For windows that don't have WM_CLIENT_MACHINE set, meta_window_is_remote() identifies them as remote clients. I think a safer assumption would be to identify them as local clients. I noticed this when gnome-shell didn't load the .desktop application file when WM_CLIENT_MACHINE was not set.
Bug 647662 has a patch so I'm marking this one as duplicate instead of the other way around. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 647662 ***
