I am able to reproduce issue when using: VNC Server: Ubuntu trusty 14.04.3 LTS running x11vnc 0.9.13-1.1
$ x11vnc -version x11vnc: 0.9.13 lastmod: 2011-08-10 VNC Clients: - Mac OS X 10.9.5 running Screen Sharing app Version 1.5 (481.1) - Mac OS X 10.10.5 running Screen Sharing app Version 1.6.4 (491.13) Evidence suggests that this problem is not due to any specific VNC server or client. Seems to be a combination of Unity & VNC -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1219525 Title: Cannot unhide (show hidden) launcher over Remote Desktop (VNC connection over vino or x11vnc) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1219525/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
