Subject: Please add config option for "Eye Candy" regarding session icons

Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:27:23 +0100

Package: x2goclient
Severity: wishlist
Version: 4.0.1.2

The taskbar icon suddenly changes into the seal icon once the connection 
is established.
Please add a checkbox/config file entry to disable this.
I'm sure it will confuse users who have previously used published 
application mode and look for the "Accelerated X" icon that has just 
vanished.

NB: I'm kind of disappointed that we're adding silly eye candy when 
there still are serious bugs to fix.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I agree that having the icon change when a connection is established is confusing to users. I'd like to see the tool be more consistent in the icon displayed; at the moment users have to juggle the no-machine icon, the accelerated X logo, and now the baby seal. The addition of the seal seems like a step away from consistency.

We will add session profile config options to handle bubbles and icon changes.

@Ricardo (who provided those patches): do you think you can add those  
config options / switches? If not, I will take a look.

However, we release 4.0.1.2 the coming weekend. So, this will be a job  
for 4.0.1.3.

Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 18:06:17 +0100

Hi List & hi Bugwatchers,

Mike#1 and I discussed the following approach via phone today:

- x2goclient gets a new commandline option --keep-icon
- when this commandline option is set, the taskbar icon will not change 
upon successful connect (global setting)
- a new configfile option "keep-icon=true/false" will be added
- when this configfile option is set, the taskbar icon will not change 
upon successful connect (per-session setting)
- this change will be implemented for 4.0.1.3
- a config option/checkbox for it will be added with a later release.

- Stefan

Targetting this for X2Go Client 4.0.1.14 (and 4.0.2.0). 4.0.1.13 has  
just been released (to get the audio issue off the table).

Typo, of course... targetting for 4.0.1.4 (not .14).

I just checked as I'm wondering if 4.0.2.0 is ready to be unleashed upon
my customers, and it seems 4.0.2.0 does not understand the commandline
parameter "--keep-icon".

Is there any chance we can get that feature - keeping the generic
"Accellerated X" icon in the taskbar when --keep-icon is specified on
the command line - implemented/working in the near future?

-Stefan

    New command line option (--keep-trayicon). With that options set, we force X2Go client to only use the default "accelerated X" as system tray icon (and prohibit usage of the session's icon as tray icon). (Fixes: #365).

   [ Mike Gabriel ]
   * New upstream release (4.0.2.1):
     - Fix FTBFS on arm64 (and others) architecture. (Fixes: #498).
     - Only show session name in notification bubbles with debugging
       enabled. (Fixes: #364).
     - New command line option (--keep-trayicon). With that options set,

       tray icon). (Fixes: #365).
     - Provide more meaningful messages on SSH errors (host pub key not
       found, export pub key not found, authorized_keys file not found).
       For SSHd startup failures provide different messages on Windows
       and non-Windows machines. (Fixes: #235).
       FIXME: add detection code to report SSH daemon startup failures.
     - Add new cmdline option --hide-foldersharing. If used, all GUI
       elements related to exporting client-side folders to X2Go sessions
       get hidden. (Fixes: #514).

       session is disconnected.
     - Don't start pulse on Windows, until we really have to start a session
       that requires pulse support.
     - Check if sound is activated before starting pulse.
     - Fix starting sshd on Win XP. (Fixes: #421).
     - Fix "fullscreen" mode on Windows 7 with multiple monitors.
 .
   [ Mike DePaulo ]
   * New upstream release (4.0.2.1):
     - Windows: Prevent high PulseAudio CPU usage on Windows XP by lowering
       PulseAudio's CPU priority from "high" to "normal" on XP specifically.
       Also do so on Windows Server 2003 (R2) (Fixes #526)
     - Windows: Enable PulseAudio log when --debug is passed.
     - Windows: Fix compatibility with current PulseAudio master branch
     - Windows: Reduce size of NSIS installer by switching to lzma solid compression
     - Windows: cygwin packages (inluding patched OpenSSH 6.6.1p1-3) updated from
       latest versions as of 2014-04-08 to latest versions as of 2014-06-09. This
       includes openssl 1.0.1h-1, which fixes the 6 CVEs announced on 2014-06-05.
       (Cygwin openssl was also individually updated to 1.0.1h-1 in
       4.0.2.0+build4.) This also includes migrating from libjpeg to
       libjpeg-turbo, which reduces CPU usage of nxproxy.)
     - Windows: Download and compile nx-libs-lite from the release tarball,
       rather than from git, so that the patches are actually applied
     - Windows: nx-libs-lite updated from 3.5.0.22 to 3.5.0.27
       (linked against aforementioned cygwin package versions)
     - Windows: Win32 OpenSSL updated from 1.0.1g to 1.0.1h, which fixes the 6
       CVEs announced on 2014-06-05.
       (Win32 OpenSSL was also updated to 1.0.1h in 4.0.2.0+build3.)
     - Windows: VcXsrv (XP Compatible) updated from 1.14.3.1 to 1.14.3.2.
       Fixes CVE-2014-0209, CVE-2014-0210, and CVE-2014-0211
       (VcXsrv was also updated to 1.14.3.2 in 4.0.2.0+build2.)
     - Windows: Switch from regular NSIS 2.46 to Unicode NSIS 2.46.5
       (Fixes: #528)
