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: https://www.cendio.com/thinlinc/download-register 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.
