RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Joe Wright 2017-01-26 16:52:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
- Unable to resize evince window in VNC using MWM

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- current

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
The issue is successfully reproduced at our end.

Forcefully created mwm :

Put 'PREFERRED=/usr/bin/mwm' in /etc/default/desktop
----------
 yum grouplist
  106  yum groupinstall "Server with GUI"
  107  init 5
  108  xinit -e /usr/bin/mwm 
  109  vi /etc/sysconfig/desktop
  110  yum install motif xterm
  111  startx
  112  evince
  113  yum install tigervnc tigervnc-server
  114  useradd abc
  115  passwd abc
  116  su - abc
  117  cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service 
  118  vi /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service
  119  firewall-cmd  --permanent --zone=public --add-port 5901/tcp
  120  firewall-cmd --reload
  121  systemctl daemon-reload 
  122  systemctl enable vncserver@:1.service
  123  systemctl start vncserver@:1.service
-----------

Steps to reproduce:
1. Login to a RHEL 7.2/RHEL 7.3 machine, physical or virtual
2. Install tigervnc and start a vnc server session with a simple xstartup file, eg. one that executes "exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc"
3. Connect to the VNC session from another machine
4. Start mwm in the VNC session
5. Start evince in the VNC session
6. Try to resize evince by the window border.

Actual results:
- window will not resize

Expected results:
- window size adjustable

installing the latest gtk3-devel and gobject-introspection-devel, and compiling the latest upstream gtk3-nocsd seems to fix this

This seems to be a gtk3 issue then, right?
Comment 6 Thomas Woerner 2017-01-30 16:02:36 UTC 
Reassigning to gtk3.
