Hello,

This list has always been very helpful.

I am not migrating VirtualBox sessions from my desktop to headless sessions in 
zones on Solaris 11, with the intent to use uttsc to connect to the headless 
sessions and gain all of the SRWC goodness: USB redirection, enhanced 
multimedia support, persistent execution, sound from multiple VirtualBox 
sessions.  That last one is interesting.  When VirtualBox starts up it takes 
the audio device and gives that to a back end process, which in turn shares it 
with all VirtualBox session using X.  Since Sun Ray cannot handle multiple 
audio streams, you have to choose which VB instance gets sound and carefully 
start them in a well-defined order.

Using a triple-head workstation with 12 virtual desktops (workspaces?), I can 
have many things going on:
* the personal workspace has a personal firefox window and possibly a PDF 
viewer and some terminals
* the finance workspace  has a single-head full-screen Windows 7 instance 
running Quicken and one or more firefox windows for logging into banks
* the MBA workspace has a browser, a PDF viewer and one or more OpenOffice apps 
running and a two-head Windows 7 instance so that I can do schoolwork
* the media workspace has several terminals and a single-head Windows 7 instance
* the job workspace has a full-screen triple-head XP instance for attaching to 
corporate VPN and getting to a Citrix session

All of this works well, when VB sessions are run full screen.  Now that I am 
starting to play with uttsc to remote OS instances, I have noticed a few 
problems.  It is entirely possible I simply misunderstand.  Any insight is 
appreciated.

Solaris 11, SRS 5.2, VirtualBox 4.1.8.

I cannot get fullscreen to work well with uttsc.  The flag "-x xinerama" and 
the -x flag unset produce the fullscreen on the left head (covering my gnome 
toolbar) while complete garbage covers the middle and right head.  The flag "-x 
randr" and "-x off" stretch the session across all three screens.  As far as I 
can tell, there is no graceful way to contain a session to one or two heads of 
my choice.  Also, short of minimizing a fullscreen session, there appears to be 
no way to regain the focus so that I may switch workspaces.  The right ctrl key 
does this in VirtualBox.

Is there a way to get uttsc to behave well in a multihead fullscreen mode?  I 
would love to move to this model of processing.

Many thanks,
Marty
