Description Jon Stanley 2011-07-08 02:50:11 UTC
I'm not sure what can be done here, there are two proprietary pieces of software involved, one possibly relevant, and one definitely relevant :)

For $DAYJOB, I need to use Citrix to work remotely. It gives me a Windows RDP client, which is set to fullscreen. That works, except that the panel doesn't disappear. In GNOME2 it did, GNOME3 will not run on this machine due to the second piece of proprietary software, fglrx.

This severely impacts the usability of the setup. I haven't tried doing this under KDE or LXDE yet.

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2011-07-08 14:41:23 UTC
Does setting the pannel to auto-hide work as a workaround?

Does this behavior occur in things like firefox, etc? or is it specific to the rdp client?
Would remmina work as a rdp client work around? Does it exhibit the bug?

Comment 2 Jon Stanley 2011-07-18 15:52:43 UTC
To add to this - it seems that this is restricted to the Citrix client. Interestingly, it didn't happen with F14 - maybe a new GTK thing that this stupid proprietary app hasn't kept up with.

KDE is even more busted (the "full screen" takes up only a single display, the proprietary display driver is using Xinerama, not Xrandr sadly), and LXDE has the same issue, so this leads more to a generic GTK issue than a xfce4-panel problem. But I'm not sure how to debug it :(

Comment 3 Jon Stanley 2011-07-18 15:53:42 UTC
Oh, and as for using something else - the RDP client is made available to me via Citrix ICA. If there's something open source that can talk ICA, I'm all ears, but I don't think there is :)

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2011-07-20 16:12:32 UTC
Yeah, no idea there. 

Does auto-hide on the panel work as a workaround? 

I guess I can file this upstream. Is there any other apps at all that do this? 
Can you get a screenshot?

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:54:41 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
