Hi all, I am actually facing a complicated problem related to the task switch functionality of our traditional (non-compositing) window manager metacity when running an active freerdp session. Maybe someone can help me or give an advice?
The problem I have is defined by the fact that the common Linux task switch via <CRTL><ALT><CURSOR UP/DOWN> will initially not work at all for a running freerdp session. If I use further the command line option -K, the task switch is just realized related to the keyboard and mouse focus. Consequentially this is obviously not enough for a fullscreen session, because even if another window will get the keyboard input, the user would not see this window. I have recently tracked this problem and found out that the attribute override_redirect, which is set in client/X11/xfreerdp.c::void xf_create_window(xfInfo* xfi) to xfi->fullscreen will enable non-compositing window managers to ignore the freerdp window (see http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#idp3322888). If I set this attribute to 0 always, the task switch works when using the option -K. So this will be a simple solution for me. However I want to understand, why this attribute is used and set here, because I will not break other functionality. Maybe someone can answer this question? If no other functionality will get broken, the task switch functionality for traditional window managers might be also interesting for other users.
