Title:
Metacity Not Sending ConfigureNotify events
Status in metacity package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in metacity source package in Xenial:
Fix Committed
Status in metacity source package in Yakkety:
New
Bug description:
# Impact
When using seamless applications such as Rdesktop, the window manager needs
to send ConfigureNotify events. This is specified in ICCCM section 4.1.5.
Without it, software will hang and wait for a response.
This greatly impacts corporate and enterprise users that are trying to
integrate Microsoft Windows applications using Rdesktop.
# Proposed Fix
A patch has been created here and should be merged:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/metacity/commit/?h=gnome-3-24&id=f09967fc0f1d65fc7b5057b362b9657154a86079
Patch for 3.18 branch which was used for Xenial upload is here:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/metacity/commit/?h=gnome-3-18&id=64e95c2ec2a1669da2ddab6c29108d718f79dfff
# Test Case
Use rdesktop in seamless mode:
rdesktop "%ProgramFiles%\ThinLinc\WTSTools\seamlessrdpshell.exe" -s "notepad"
server_ip
This requires server with windows that is setup for remote access. Also extra
software is needed:

Opening multiple seamless windows and trying to switch between them
should not cause any noticeable delays / hangs.
# Regression Potential
The reporter has verified the fix, and it works. It has also been in Zesty
since Mar 20th and so far nobody complained.
