Title:
kwin fails to resize to fit to the NX window with this version of
libxfixes3
Status in “libxfixes” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
We use KDE under NX, and were happy to discover that the new libxrandr
proposed in this bug-report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/libxrandr/+bug/985202
fixes the issue of kwin crashing when the NX window resizes.
However, we now discover that it does not resize to fit the NX window
either when the NX window is resized. Please see the attached
screenshot for an example of what happens.
However, there is a relatively easy workaround for this issue which
unfortunately involves downgrading libxfixes3 to the version from Oneiric.
Specifically, the package one needs to get is:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/libxfixes3
The version numbers of the two packages are very close, so I decided
to look at the diff between the sources for Oneiric and Precise, and I
discovered that the only source-code difference is one patch which was
added to Precise (which I'm also attaching). Something in that patch
is what breaks the ability of kwin to resize to fit the NX window.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!
Sincerely,
Iordan
