[rdesktop-devel] Rdesktop 1.5.0CVS / Cygwin / SeamlessRDP question...

[Adam B. <ad...@ro...>]

Hi all,

I was just toying around with Peter's/Cendio's SeamlessRDP functionality
within a compiled version of rdesktop in cygwin.  I'm putting this out
there to see if anyone is experiencing the same quirky-ness I'm seeing.
I'm starting cygwin's xwin with these flags:  "-rootless
-multiplemonitors -clipboard -swcursor -silent-dup-error" so it'll start
a rootless xsession across all of my monitors.  Then for a test, I'll
run: rdesktop.exe -A -s "c:\seamlessRDP\seamlessRDPshell.exe
c:\windows\notepad.exe" -a 16 -P -b -z -K -N testserver.  It'll work
PERFECTLY.  Launches notepad and it's capable of being positioned
anywhere on any of my screens (I have 8 and they all run at 1600x1200
and RDP is limited to 4096x2048 so this is why I'm testing this out). =20

The quirk I'm running into is in terms of minimizing.  If I minimize the
notepad, it'll minimize inside the Windows session on the server but
won't minimize the actual rdesktop app.  So what I'm left with is an
empty square (where the actual notepad resided) on the desktop with no
way of restoring the notepad window.  Was wondering if anyone has ever
tried this out and if there was a way to fix it.  I can't run the
xserver in multiwindow mode because I want to have a heterogenious
environment of running both windows apps and seamless rdesktop windows
on the same desktop.  It's basically SO close to Citrix's published apps
that it's tempting to use this method for app distribution.
