[X2Go-Dev] Bug#616: Finally managed to record the issue on tape

2015-01-09 Thread Michael DePaulo
The way I see it, there are 2 parts of the issue.

1. Something is happening for 5 seconds.
2. During those 5 seconds, X2Go Client is displaying the Hourglass-and-Pointer.

We should be able to fix the issue by solving either part.

Perhaps there is some Qt feature we need to adjust in order to fix part #2?

 Hello Stefan,

 Actually, I don't see it as a problem at all, but I understand your
 point. I'll see, what I can do about it.

 Sorry for not replying sooner.  No, we're talking about the same
 cursor.  Hourglass-and-Pointer, not Hourglass.

 So while yes, one can use the UI during these 5 seconds, it
 nevertheless is confusing to the user.  The initial reaction of the
 average user is Oh, that thing's busy, I should wait.  A
 non-technical user will not differentiate between
 Hourglass-and-Pointer and Hourglass.

 Since previous versions of X2GoClient did not exhibit this behavior, I
 am expecting complaints about a sudden slow startup (from
 non-technical users, that are not aware of the difference between
 those two cursor types) when I roll this thing out.

 Is there no way we can avoid this? Maybe start the background
 processes and the reaper only when a session is in the startup phase,
 and not immediately when x2goclient.exe start?

Hi everyone,

please have a look at http://youtu.be/5RJ2kwrgeXI

This is X2Go Client 4.0.3.0 showing the 5-second startup delay
(hourglass cursor).

Note that the on-access virus scanner was disabled for this recording,
as can be seen on the lower right (red icon), so we can that one rule
out as the cause of the problem.

Things I learned, trying to capture this:
- - The effect does not occur inside a VMware Workstation VM.
  So you neither see it nor will you be able to record it there.
- - The effect does occur on real hardware as well as on a Linux-LVM
  accessed via RDP.
- - It is impossible to record the effect using CamStudio.
  While you can witness the effect occurring live, the recorded video
  will only show the regular mouse arrow.
- - Recording the effect was possible using Microsoft Expression Encoder.
  $DEITY knows why.

@Alex: This effect occurs since you tried to introduce the reaper
process (even before you split x2goclient.exe into half with the
helper, I think).
It was not present before that.

Kind Regards,
Stefan
