Connecting from F17 vncviewer (tigervnc) to F17 tigervnc X server module, using gnome-rdp, the VNC window kept the same size as the physical display being remoted. Having now upgraded both my laptop and my home desktop to F18, when I do exactly the same connection, the vncviewer resizes my display to whatever the size of the VNC viewer window is. There are lots of problem with this: 1. There's no mention of the change in the release notes. 2. There's no way in gnome-rdp to specify whether this behavior is desired or to indicate the size of the desired window if it is. 3. It doesn't work. In using it just for a few minutes, I encountered several different failure modes, including: the VNC viewer window getting confused about the size of the remote display and displaying it twice as big as it actually was; gnome-shell disappearing such that I couldn't start any programs; and things getting into a weird state where my mouse clicks weren't going where my mouse pointer was. I think this new feature needs to be turned off by default until it's more robust and preferably until there's a way to configure it in gnome-rdp (I'll file a separate gnome-rdp bug about that).

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 18'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.
This is still woefully broken in Fedora 20. When I connect using vncviewer to the tigervnc server module, my display is resized. However, the top bar isn't resized, so I can no longer get to the controls at the top right corner of the screen such as the ones to open the settings control panel. While I'm connected, things work horribly. When I disconnect, my display isn't put back to its old size. When I try to run gnome-control-center manually from a terminal and then mess with the screen settings to try to get it to go back the way it was, my session crashes. When I log in again, the display is totally messed up. Only after I do "sudo systemctl stop gdm" and "sudo systemctl start gdm" in a separate VTY and then log in again does everything go back to normal. Please, please, PLEASE turn off the display resize functionality in the tigervnc server module, or at least don't make it the default behavior of vncviewer.
