Hi Norbert, different from the proprietary vmware guest stuff, the open-vm-tools source does not ship any graphics drivers or other this which are related to resizing and similar issues.
So I've cloned to bug and reassigned #765490 to the xserver-xorg-video-vmware package.
*)Drag and drag still doesnt work, but I dont know how to triage the issue. What happens is that the operation is not registered as DnD, or atleast that the folder appears to not allow DnD (work from within the VM) Possibly some GTK3 changes?
I don't think the DnD problem is actually an issue in xserver-xorg-video-vmware, so it might make sense to clone the bug again to reassign this point to gtk/gnome/whatever. But this is clearly a graphipcs driver issue:
*) Resizing the window (to a somewhat bigger size, no clear threshold there) will result in a small black window, seems like some X11 crash? Resizing the window to a small one restores the content. I am not 100% certain abaout it but the system seems to be somewhat unstable after such an event. Again not sure where to look, could be either the resizing plugin (setting a big windowsize through display settings works) or the vmware video driver
Please discuss the X11 related issues in #765490 and I'll handle the vmtoolsd issues in #764295 Thanks, Bernd -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.de http://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
