Actually, this may not be a problem with remmina at all. Just had Citrix ICAClient 12.1 (proprietary) do exactly the same thing on me. Maybe it the new <sarcasm>smart</sarcasm> default of Gnome 3.4 to make everything full screen... Oh dear. :-( It seems like two distinct problems after all. The ICAClient resizing appears to be happening only with mutter and is most likely the result of this silly commit: http://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/?id=f2f500836ef217bfbd7bbf5ad54c9248cbdb7925 It seems that mutter "knows better" than the user that actually configured the size of the window - explicitly. Wow! I cannot reproduce the problem with xfwm4, so it's definitely mutter and there is nothing I can do here. Reassigning to mutter. (In reply to comment #3) > I cannot reproduce the problem with xfwm4, so it's definitely mutter and there > is nothing I can do here. Reassigning to mutter. I am actually getting the Remmina problem with metacity, not mutter. But, yeah, it could be one of those "smart" new Gnome things, where the system knows better than user... Yes, the behaviour of mutter has changed to prefer maximization for windows whose size is 'close' to the screen size when they are mapped. While this may be inconvenient in your particular case, I don't think it is a bug. Window managers have always been free to ignore the applications idea of window size, and the icccm declares that applications have to work with the size they are given - which remmina seems to do here, anyway. (In reply to comment #5) > Yes, the behaviour of mutter has changed to prefer maximization for windows > whose size is 'close' to the screen size when they are mapped. BTW, the problem with Remmina occurs with metacity, not mutter. The other problem, with ICAClient, occurs on mutter (but not metacity) and is described in bug #821589. > While this may be inconvenient in your particular case, I don't think it is a > bug.

Inconvenient? This is so obviously wrong and broken. It makes these windows ugly too. I have set the size of my window explicitly (well, my app did, through the setting I put there). I am the user. Why is the window manager second guessing me? Does that mean that when I use resize functionality, windows will be snapping to maximised at will too? Ridiculous. This is the same thing as obnoxious web sites maximising the browser window for reasons known only to them. At least FF has an option to prevent this from happening. Is there an option in Gnome window managers to disable this obnoxious behaviour? (In reply to comment #6) > BTW, the problem with Remmina occurs with metacity, not mutter. Clarification. I did not run it under mutter to verify - maybe it does. The one that I am experiencing is under metacity. Well, metacity has not changed, so then this is a remmina problem after all. (In reply to comment #8) > Well, metacity has not changed, so then this is a remmina problem after all. Maybe related: https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/issues/63 Reassigning back to remmina. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
