Few notes from my research of this problem: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16713 > Actually, the problem is the lack of XRender support in the tightvncserver Xserver. https://sourceforge.net/p/vnc-tight/mailman/message/28243000/ > Unfortunately, TightVNC for Unix/Linux is quite old, it was not updated for > years, and I guess it would not be simple to enable Xrender in it. > So I'd recommend looking at some other VNC-compatible servers for Unix, e.g. > TigerVNC or RealVNC's one. So new vnc server is fastest workaround. I migrated to TigerVNC but caught https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/800 Fixed it by adding view-only password with "vncpasswd" Works fine so far. ** Bug watch added: github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues #800 https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/800 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860921 Title: Missing window decorations in VNC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfwm4/+bug/1860921/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1860921] Re: Missing window decorations in VNC
I came here looking for a fix to this for my Mint 19.3 (Ubuntu 18.04) install. So the problem may be older than 19.10. The closest thing I've found to an explanation is here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/339593/missing-icons-for-headless-xfce- session-via-vnc But none of those fixes work.
