X-sandboxes are not resizeable
Last modified: 2013-05-24 16:19:49 EDT
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #915202 +++ Description of problem: Since update to RHEL6.4 GUI sandboxes (`sandbox -X`) are not resizeable. This used to work perfectly on RHEL6.3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.30.el6.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xephyr-1.13.0-11.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. sandbox -X firefox 2. try resizing sandbox Actual results: Sandbox can not be resized Expected results: Sandbox can be resized --- Additional comment from Daniel Walsh on 2013-02-26 16:41:42 EST --- Did the Xephyr Resize patch get removed? --- Additional comment from Marian Csontos on 2013-02-27 04:06:58 EST --- Short answer is yes, it got. Commit 1dee54d04. Among other things this really breaks things in tiling window managers. Also saved firefox sessions from RHEL6.3 are broken: firefox is using larger window than Xephyr. Would it be possible getting it back in z-stream? --- Additional comment from Marian Csontos on 2013-02-27 04:26:07 EST --- And the workaround for broken firefox session is to search for /"width":/ and /"height":/ in profile's sessionstore.js (~/.mozilla/firefox/s0m3jVnK.default/sessionstore.js) and hand edit the numbers. --- Additional comment from Peter Hutterer on 2013-05-12 23:52:04 EDT --- Patch was removed from RHEL server because it got merged upstream as xorg-server-1.12.99.903-3-g8843aed. However, the upstream patch has two hunks different than the one we used to ship. Specifically, the resize option is now only enabled if win_pre_existing is != None whereas the previous patch had this unconditionally. Best option here is probably to cherry-pick "ephyr: Add -resizeable option" (xorg-server-1.13.99.902-23-g3aac7a5) and set EphyrWantResize to 1 by default. This should emulate the behaviour of RHEL 6.3. --- Additional comment from Daniel Walsh on 2013-05-13 12:53:26 EDT --- Can we get the same option turned on in Fedora also?
