First off, let me say that XRDP is pretty sweet and the setup was painless. I used YUM to install an RPM from EPEL, invoked "service xrdp start", setup an SSH tunnel, and *bam*, I was getting a smooth X session to my CentOS 5.3 box from Windows XP SP3 using Remote Desktop Connection. Cool stuff...
When I started to mess around in earnest, though, I tripped over a problem with keyboard shortcuts. My first remedy was to set the Local Resources ==> Keyboard pull-down list to "on the remote computer". That made it such that ALT-tab registered within the Linux RDP session as opposed to my Windows box. It also made it such that ALT-spacebar did not register with the Windows environment, but it didn't seem to be working in the RDP session. I found that just about none of the ALT- keyboard combos would work in Emacs, e.g. ALT+f to move forward one word. I tried the same keyboard shortcut (ALT+f) in a shell window and it didn't work there either. This shortcut works just fine if I'm on the Linux machine via a VMWare console in both Emacs and the shell. I spent probably a couple of hours Googling fruitlessly for a solution to this show-stopper. The closest thing to a possible solution I found was something about keymap files, but it wasn't clear to me that that was the way to fix things, and even if it were I didn't know how to go about doing it. Does anyone have a suggestion? A fix for this would really make my day... -- AWG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
