I apologize for the delayed response, I am working in a closed environment and it takes forever to get things done. I was able to get KDE installed on a workstation and I re-ran the test and it still closes my connection just like Gnome.
I do not have access to xdotool and it would probably take at least 2 months to get approved for use on my system (if at all). I would prefer to avoid that. May be faster to write a simple app to resize a window... I looked at the session log and I don't see anything in the log that is suspicious. When I startup I maximize the session window and I see that in the log and then the next entry is the session being suspended (which I do after my connection is killed and I try to reconnect). So there is basically nothing for the entire time I am doing my test. Here is the xwininfo. I had to hand-type this so there could be typos... {QUOTE} xwininfo: Window id: 0x300030a "[Fake Title]" Root window id: 0x68 (the root window) (has no name) Parent window id: 0x10003f7 (has no name) 2 children: 0x3000343 "[Fake name]": () 796x581+2+190 +722+348 0x300030b (has no name): () 1x1+-1+-1 ++719+157 Absolute upper-left X: 720 Absolute upper-left Y: 158 Relative upper-left X: 2 Relative upper-left Y: 26 Width: 800 Height 815 Depth: 24 Visual: 0x4a Visual Class: TrueColor Border width: 0 Class: InputOutput Colormap: 0x43 (installed) Bit Gravity State: NorthWestGravity Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity Backing Store State: NotUseful Save Under State: no Map State: IsViewable Override Redirect State: no Corners: +720+158 -400-205 +720-205 -geometry 800x815+718+132 Bit gravity: NorthWestGravity Window gravity: NorthWestGravity Backing-store hint: NotUseful Backing-planes to be preserved: 0xffffffff Backing pixel: 0 Save-unders: No Someone wants these events: KeyPress KeyRelease ButtonPress ButtonRelease EnterWindow LeaveWindow PointerMotion Exposure VisibilityChange StructureNotify FocusChange PropertyChange ColormapChange Do not propogate these evnets: Override redirection?: No Window manager hints: Client accepts input or input focus: Yes Initial state is Normal State Displayed on desktop 0 Window type: Normal Process id: 20248 on host [hostname] Frame extents: 2, 2, 26, 4 Normal window size hints: Program supplied window gravity: NorthWestGravity No zoom window size hints defined No window shape defined No border shape defined {/QUOTE} -----Original Message----- From: ulrich.sibil...@gmail.com [mailto:ulrich.sibil...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Ulrich Sibiller Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2016 11:41 PM To: Dionne, Dennis P <dennis.p.dio...@boeing.com> Cc: x2go-user@lists.x2go.org Subject: Re: [X2Go-User] multiwindow option and resizing an application window On Tue, Oct 18, 2016 at 9:19 PM, Dionne, Dennis P <dennis.p.dio...@boeing.com> wrote: > Thank you for replying!

There should be a logfile on the session on the server, usually in ~/x2go. Can you check for suspicious messages there? I think it is worth trying the upcoming 3.6.x version of the nx-libs. Unfortunately you need to build the rpm yourself. Please clone the repo at https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs.git and use the specfile in there to build an rpm. > I cannot get the linux x2go client (4.0.5.1) to work because of this > issue https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2014-05/msg00556.html > https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2014-05/msg00076.html > > I don't use the linux client so this is not an issue for me but for this > troubleshooting I can try to get it working. Yeah, have come over this problem, too. But as I am not involved in the x2goclient development or packaging I cannot help here.

That may be enough to Oh, that shifts focus back to windows again. Mike#2, any ideas? answer your question (and isolate it to windows). If not let me know and I will pursue getting 4.0.5.1 linux client working on RHEL6. According to the bug reports, I would have to update libssh to >= 0.6 but that is problematic on RHEL6 (apparently it's unsupported because I can't even download it from RHN for RHEL6 but I can for RHEL7). I will have to install some newer packages in parallel with the older versions and update LD_LIBRARY_PATH when using x2goclient... > As far as giving you the application, unfortunately this application is > proprietary and I do not own it so I cannot give it to you.

If you google for that message you'll find that this is from metacity and only a harmless warning. However, I am wondering why the app cann be resized at all then. Do you see the resizing problem when using another window manager or even desktop? Can you sucessfully resize using xdotool?
