5 Desktop switch on local machine causes vncviewer to terminat - ID: 1202622
Last Update: Comment added ( count )

When viewing a remote unix vnc server using vncviewer
from a linux machine if the client attempts to switch
/local/ desktops (ie, alt+Fn in Fluxbox) it causes the
vncviewer session to terminate (it does not crash though).

Termination error is:

----------------------------------------------
CleanupXErrorHandler called
ShmCleanup called
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter
attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 42 (X_SetInputFocus)
Serial number of failed request: 5078
Current serial number in output stream: 5078
----------------------------------------------


The error is independent of the key combo used to
switch the desktop,ie the trigger is the actual switching.

This does not seem to occur when the mouse-wheel is
used to switch between local desktops.

No problems, I'd say it's fixed by this. Thanks a lot! This
was bugging me for months.

In the file vncviewer/desktop.c

change:
XSetInputFocus(dpy, XtWindowOfObject(desktop),
RevertToPointerRoot, CurrentTime);

to:
XSetInputFocus(dpy, PointerRoot, RevertToPointerRoot,
CurrentTime);

and the problem goes away. I do not know if this is a
technically valid fix but it does work apparently correctly
here.

The bug described in this report should have been fixed in the
latest development version, 1.3dev5. Please verify that it is
working, and report the problems if any, to let us close the
tracker or resolve the remaining problems.

Thank you!
