alt key do not work with xrdp, and win key do not work either you can not use alt-f to open file menu in gedit or other apps, and can not use win key to open application menu of gnome desktop. however, I can use alt-f1 to application menu of gnome desktop. it sounds strange. xrdp-0.5.0-0.5.20090811cvs.el5 client is a win7 mstsc program.
what keyboard/language are you using ?
please try this version and give me a feedback http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2607716
I am running xrdp-0.5.0-0.13.fc14.x86_64 on a newly installed f14. I can confirm that at least for me alt-f and so on work. I am running from a win 7 client using norwegian keyboard, and have generated keyboard map for xrdp using xrdp-genkeymap. The keyboard layout mostly works, but I still have some problems. Alt Gr does not work. It is needed for norwegian keyboard to get important characters like @£${[]} and a few others. Also, the arrow keys do not work as they should. Most likely this is more of a problem with xrdp-genkeymap? Do you want me to upload the generated keymap file?
yes please, send the generated keymap to https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp closing this here, thank you.
