According to the tarantella website they are able to do this.

They can actually do this - I've tested it. What they do is specify a custom shell in the rdp logon sequence. They also request a screen size the same as the local desktop. Then they get the colour of the remote desktop background, and then treat it as a transparent color so that you only see the remote window over your local desktop. Maybe I'm being a bit unclear, but do you get the idea? Maybe we can implement soming like tjis is rdesktop and blow the socks off the competition.

You just wrote down my fall back plan (-: . I was hoping on a protocol=20 implementation though (-:. Anyway: My vision on this looks like: Start an application, scan for the borders of the window of that applicat= ion,=20 resize the visible part of rdesktop accordingly, if someone resizes rdesk= top,=20 send fake mouse drag action to TS, see by scan if window resizes at that=20 side, if yes, then make adjust everything accordingly. The only problem I still have (in my theory) is closing the remote=20 application. What if someone closes the app by using the menu? (now I ask= =20 myself, solution jumps up too: Keep a scan point for the border of the=20 application up all the time, if that point changes, then app is closed, c= lose=20 rdesktop) Still one question from me to the community: My TS server is temporary=20 unavailable (for the next two months). Anybody has a publicly available T= S=20 where I can get an account on to test rdesktop (+changes) against?

So you won't have a problem here. The server will shutdown the connetion, and the rdesktop connection will be closed. A bigger problem is multiple applications in the same session. This isn't possible. The ICA (Citrix) client manages this far better than RDP. It only sets up one session and then serves applications transparently to the client. They even show the taskbar correctly (local taskbar with the remote applications also on it). Yours, Jean-Paul |
