Hi there, I'm a happy user of ion, at home as well as at work. Problem is: At work we're using the Citrix Client to be able to use some Windoze applications from within Solaris. Citrix is a hell of a X11 application. It resizes its windows, forces window placement, movement and so on. It doesn't work very well with many window managers, leading to placement errors, disappearing windows. Or crashes. With ion, the Citrix client is nearly unusable. Even if you create a new workspace with an "empty" layout it's a mess. I won't blame ion for this. There's no need for an application to handle window manager tasks...
As a solution I created a fullscreen workspace and attached a Xnest to it. The Citrix client uses Xnest without any window manager. So far this runs pretty stable. I can recommend this way for every misbehaving application. The only thing that bothers me is that I don't get "window alarms" (events), and that I can't access the individual windows inside Xnest from ions controls. Is there a tool that could do this, or that could be used as a starting point? Regards Christian
