Description Tom Horsley 2010-12-12 18:04:05 UTC 
Description of problem:

There is this insanely annoying semi-transparent pixmap overlaid on the
top of the spice client screen. All it does is tell me I am running the
spice client, which I knew when I started the spicec program.

It obscures actually useful information from the virtual machine, especially
when I'm running a maximized program on the KVM.

Please eradicate it utterly, or if there is some demented reason it seems
useful to someone, please at least provide a spicec option to disable it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-client-0.6.3-4.fc14.x86_64


How reproducible:
It is always there.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bring up spice client to view a KVM console.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Annoying pixmap at top center of screen.

Expected results:
Some way to avoid being annoyed short of rebuilding from source after
patching the code.

Additional info:

I've been poking around in the source and it appears to be the image
referred to as INFO_IMAGE_RES_ID that I'm talking about.
Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2010-12-15 15:42:57 UTC 
I agree the info image is annoying. I have a patch which I'll attach here. If accepted I'll also put it upstream.
