Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: UN*X version Group: 1.1.X Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: canavan (canavan) Assigned to: Adam Tkac (atkac) Summary: about banner opens unnecesary output dialog Initial Comment: The "About" banner should only be displayed if stderr is a tty, otherwise some desktop environments open unnecessary additional windows just for this message, or the console terminal is cluttered with this message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: canavan (canavan) Date: 2011-12-28 07:28 Message: The Console I'm talking about is a xterm started with -C or -console. A terminal started like this receives conole output, the same that would go into ~/.xsession-errors or maybe in linux the virtual terminal X was started from (using startX). As a matter of fact, al the other messages that get logged _and_ display a dialog (e.g. "connection refused" cause the same kind of output window to open, so I'd love to get rid of those as well, while not suppressing any errors for which no dialog can be opened, e.g. for missing X11 credentials or other fatal X11 errors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Peter Åstrand (astrand) Date: 2011-12-28 06:17 Message: The problem with "console terminal cluttered" will not be solved by using isatty(), since the console is a TTY. The problem with additional windows could be solved, but the problem is that some people might launch vncviewer as a subprocess but still want to include the about text in, say, a log file. We at Cendio do that, for example. So, I'm not positive to merging this patch as is. Perhaps if the code is surrounded by an IRIX ifdef. The patch also needs to be migrated to the new FLTK viewer, since the old viewer has been removed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: canavan (canavan) Date: 2011-12-28 04:58 Message: The IRIX "Indigo Magic Desktop" or IRIX Interactive Desktop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Peter Åstrand (astrand) Date: 2011-12-28 00:02 Message: Which desktop environments opens additional windows due to this message? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1126848&aid=3465459&group_id=254363 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
