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.

Expected results:
Additional info:
It is installed x11vnc server with this parameters:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/x11vnc -norc -xdamage -forever -shared -bg -rfbauth /home/fdflin/.vnc/passwd -autoport 5900 -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -auth /var/run/slim.aut
Any news on the official resolution package?
I have another case of desktop freeze on Redhat Server 7.2, this time I have started a new xterm windows on the same X channel (:0)
# xterm -display :0 ...
and I tested that I can interact with keyboard and mouse in the new application, but the others still remain blocked and unusable. Only the gdm restart gives the wake up on the desktop objects.
Please note, the commit I referenced in my first comment is a one-line fix that should be applicable as far back as libmutter 3.13.4.
This issue appears to have been present since GNOME 3.14, which AFAICT was the version Rat Hat went with for RHEL 7.2.
I read about the one line fix, but I need the official package to update the server in operational environment.
If my company wanted a handmade solution, it would not have invested in redhat and would have chosen centos.
The question is if the solution would be so simple why they are so late to resolve the problem?
Alessandra,
Sorry, I wasn't meaning to suggest rolling your own. I was only intending to provide a little extra information, and make sure all of the @redhat's on this issue were aware of some pertinent points about the fix.
With recent increased attention on this issue, I am hopeful that some action will be coming soon.
