Hello unity-dev, Trying Unity on 12.04rc2 I ran into the same bug that is filed under #879237, and as it's importance is "undecided" I would like to put this into more context.
For those not familiar with it, Citrix receiver is an rdesktop-like app, making it possible to remotely access Windows workstation desktops. Typical use cases are accessing VMs (which obviously do not have physical screens) or office computers from home. Due to its commercial nature it is primarily used by companies, especially big ones. The companies you want to use Ubuntu when you talk about "Enterprise". Now unfortunately this bug completely prevents these users (like me) using Unity. Due to this bug I cannot use Unity as I am simply not able to do my job. And, if I am forced to use Gnome3 to be able to do my job, I will not be using Unity _at all_ (as I do not want to maintain two separate environment). Others may even choose completely abandoning Unity after the first failures. Easy to find the consequence: With this bug Unity (and possibly Ubuntu) will never be accepted as a client-side solution for these big enterprises. The decision is yours whether this is inline with Ubuntu's success plans or not. About the "technical" aspects of the bug: when Citrix receiver goes fullscreen, it probably assumes that its window starts at the (0,0) position. But it is not as Unity does not let Citrix receiver to get the whole screen, so the mouse event coordinates are offset with that difference. So in the remote desktop you do not really click where the mouse points to, making it practically unusable. Thanks, Istvan (without a better choice a gnome3 user).
