Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 236176
[vnc]Right Click->Laptop Battery is shown on parent machine instead of vnc
Last modified: 2013-07-02 20:44:41 EDT
Description of problem: during using vncviewer on machine B (machine A has vncserver running), when Clicked on Laptop Battery, it shows LAPTOP Battery Information Window on Machine A (parent machie). On that Machine A I was using KDE desktop, so no Gnome-power-Manager. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-power-manager-2.18.1-2.fc7 vnc-4.1.2-16.fc7 How reproducible: Everytime during using VNC Steps to Reproduce: 1. run vncserver on Machine 2. get VNC at other machine with Gnome-power-manager 3. Right-Click on Notification area ICON and select LAPTOP Battery Actual results: 'Laptop Battery' Message Box shown on Machine A (where vncserver running) Expected results: it should be on same machine where VNC viewer is using Additional info: Screenshot, where No gnome, so no Gnome-power-manager, but still TOP-RIGHT showing Laptop Battery Box (sorry for Punjabi).

It sounds like you are somehow forwarding something e.g. running gnome-power-manager via remote X or whatever - there is *no way* that VNC can forward such a notification. Closing as NOTABUG.
