Hello Ulrich, Thank you for replying! What it does is it kills the client connection but the session is still running. When I reconnect it tries to resume and will usually show the desktop for a few seconds and then the connection is killed again. If I do this enough times (3-5 times) it will resume successfully but the window is not resized and I still cannot resize it, but the session is otherwise working fine.
I cannot get the linux x2go client (4.0.5.1) to work because of this issue https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2014-05/msg00556.html https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2014-05/msg00076.html I don't use the linux client so this is not an issue for me but for this troubleshooting I can try to get it working. I did try this test with a much older version (4.0.1.4) of the client on linux (which does work on RHEL6) and I was able to resize in windowed mode successfully. That may be enough to answer your question (and isolate it to windows). If not let me know and I will pursue getting 4.0.5.1 linux client working on RHEL6. According to the bug reports, I would have to update libssh to >= 0.6 but that is problematic on RHEL6 (apparently it's unsupported because I can't even download it from RHN for RHEL6 but I can for RHEL7). I will have to install some newer packages in parallel with the older versions and update LD_LIBRARY_PATH when using x2goclient... As far as giving you the application, unfortunately this application is proprietary and I do not own it so I cannot give it to you. I know I am not giving you much to help me troubleshoot this and I do apologize for that. If you simply don't have enough information to troubleshoot this problem I completely understand. One clue I found in the user's .xsession-x2go-errors log is an entry like this: Window manager warning: Window <hex> (<RESIZING APP NAME>) sets an MWM hint indicating it isn't resizable, but sets min size <X1>x<Y1> and max size of <X2>x<Y2>; this doesn’t make much sense. This seems like the smoking gun, based on my limited understanding of what is going on. I could try and write a stub application (in motif which this problem application is written in) and attempt to reproduce this problem. That code I could give you. If or when that is worthwhile let me know and I can start on that. Thank you again for your help. -Dennis -Dennis -----Original Message----- From: ulrich.sibil...@gmail.com [mailto:ulrich.sibil...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Ulrich Sibiller Sent: Monday, October 17, 2016 4:27 PM To: Dionne, Dennis P <dennis.p.dio...@boeing.com> Cc: x2go-user@lists.x2go.org Subject: Re: [X2Go-User] multiwindow option and resizing an application window On Tue, Oct 18, 2016 at 12:33 AM, Dionne, Dennis P <dennis.p.dio...@boeing.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am using X2Go on RHEL 6.7 and I am very pleased with how well it > works but I am having an issue when using X2Go with a custom > application when I resize the application window.

Can we somehow get hold of the application? Does it work with a Linux client instead of windows? Also, have you tried resizing the app window using the xdotool command (http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/)?
