Re: [Thinstation-general] XFWM4 issue and duplicate icones

Michael, okay.  I made the change to vmview.  VDI session connects.  Lost
the microphone that I had working last week, but still have the camera.  In
the logs, it states that Audio =100 is invalid.  Yet, I can hear and see
the person on the other end.

I do have at the top of my Thinstation.conf.buildtime MIC_Level=100 and
AUDIO_Level=100.

In session 1, SESSSION_1_VMVIEW_MIC_LEVEL=100.  I'm wondering if it should
read as follows:  SESSION_1_MIC_LEVEL=100 and AUDIO the same way.
According to the logs, it's setting the MIC to 0.  Now, the webcam and mic
are only needed IF the user starts a webmeeting.  Otherwise, it's not
needed.  When I started a meeting and then disconnected from it, the only
notes in the log is MIC set to 0.

Should I be putting the volume level in the config file?  Something like,
vmview.mic_level=100 and vmview.audio_level=100?

I do have a volume icon on my toolbar (near clock).  Weirdly, it was set
for 82.  Don't know where that came from.  I set things to 100 just so
users can't gripe "It's not loud enough."
