Okay, this is a known bug, worked around in current head, though I guess not in "0.7.7". This tells me that I really need to do a release :-). More details about the underlying problem are in this thread: http://lists.partiwm.org/pipermail/parti-discuss/2009-October/000301.html As a workaround, I suggest finding the file 'xpra/scripts/server.py', and finding a line that looks something like: xvfb = subprocess.Popen(["Xvfb-for-Xpra-%s" % display_name, display_name, "-auth", xauthority, "+extension", "Composite", "-screen", "0", "2048x2048x24+32", # <-- your problem is here "-once"], executable="Xvfb") If you replace the "2048x2048" with something larger -- like 3120x1050, for instance -- than that should solve your problem, once you restart the xpra server. Just editing the package-installed file like this is pretty crude, I know, but it should work, and while the next upgrade will wipe out your change, it should replace it with a fix anyway, so in this case it's probably the best option :-). -- Nathaniel _______________________________________________ Parti-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.partiwm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/parti-discuss
