Hi,
This is a ridiculously specific scenario, but I'm going to go for it anyway...
I am on Ubuntu Hardy Heron, and run Gnome. I use nxclient 3.2.0-14 to connect to an nxserver running on a CentOS system, where my remote user is also on Gnome.
I can connect without issue and get my desktop, but some things are broken. When I launch an window:
*It is drawn without a titlebar
*It is drawn without borders
*It is stuck in the upper left hand corner of the desktop
*My mouse doesn't manipulate buttons in that window
I have no such problem when I connect from nxclient in Windows, or from nxclient from another system running CentOS.
I've run the server in debug mode, the client (in as much as it gives you one), and there don't seem to be any errors at all.
I suspect it is mainly the difference between X implementations in the two distros, or perhaps fonts or something that is causing my problem. However, I am afraid I have poor knowledge of Linux desktop environments, window managers, and font managers, having been stuck on only the command line for the last ten years or so!
Any suggestions as to where to further look, other debugging I could turn on that seems relevant to this scenario, etc to solve my problem would be quite welcome.
Thanks
Mr 53308
