Not sure if Vinagre is available for Windows, but I noticed a significant improvement in response and lag accessing a remote session over VNC via an SSH tunnel with it vs. the built-in Mac screen sharing I was using. There is still a bit of latency, but that is to be expected since there are about 10 hops between me and the target machine. If you were accessing a local VM, I’d suspect you probably wouldn’t even notice any lag at all. It may not be available for Windows, but the point is that the viewing software can have a large impact in this area, perhaps another solution will work better than the PuTTY/Xming combo.
(this won’t address the file save issue of course, just the GUI responsiveness) Regards, Adrien > On Aug 31, 2018, at 4:58 PM, David Carlson <david.carlson....@gmail.com> > wrote: > > I have refrained from commenting on this because I do not run release 3.x, > but now I will, in case it helps the developers to think of other issues > that may be in play. > > I am running release 2.6.17 in Ubuntu 16.04 installed on a VirtualBox guest > and either viewing it directly or using PuTTY with Xming to SSH into that > machine from the Windows 7 (64 bit) host.
