Control: tag -1 patch

Hi,

when using a touch-enabled device (like a tablet computer) as a
thinclient, the cursor isn't properly aligned when you try to run a
second display (non-touch-enabled) alongside with it.

What happens is that both displays get attached to form one large
virtual screen, however, your touch-enabled surface obviously still
only covers the primary display.

The X server doesn't understand this, and tries to map your movements
on the primary display to the entire virtual screen surface, so the
further to the side and to the bottom you get, the more off your mouse
pointer will be from the actual position where you touch your primary
display.

  PRI     SEC                 VIRT
+-----+ +-----+            +----------+
|X    | |     |            |O         |
|     | |     |            |          |
|     | |     |            |          |
|     | |     |            |          |

|     | |     |            |          |

|   \ | |   / |            |       O  |
|     | |     |            |          |
+-----+ +-----+            +----------+


\ = where you touch
/ = where X draws the cursor in reality
X = overlapping \ and /
O = where X believes the cursor is, on the virtual screen

There's no sensible way to use a touch-enabled device with a second
screen and no additional, external pointing device, so I've added this
patch/workaround that switches to clone mode instead.

Of course, if you give up on using the touchscreen and plug in a USB
mouse or other external pointing device, you could use two screens.
This patch doesn't cover that situation.

Maybe someone else has an idea on what a sensible solution could look
like that covers this as well?  Like, scan for USB HID pointing
devices ("find /dev/input -name "mouse*" | wc -l") and, if present in
addition to a touchscreen, don't clone, but do side-by-side s if no
touch device was detected at all?
Tht might have some additional caveats, though, like the detection
mis-firing if the touch component of a tablet device "cloaks" as mouse
or offers some sort of mouse emulation support.
Also, in that case, it would probably be smart to disable the touch
interface completely so as to not confuse users why their touches
don't align with the cursor.  Does anybody know of a generic way to do
this?

Again, input/suggestions welcome.

Another option would be to parse /proc/cmdline, to offer the
user/administrator a way to override the detection.

If the file /proc/cmdline contains
xinerama=something, where "something" is "left-of", "right-of",
"above", "below", or "same-as", call xrandr with that parameter
instead, regardless of what was detected.

(/proc/cmdline is the list of parameters passed to the kernel while
booting.  If you have never heard of it/noticed, try cat /proc/cmdline
on your Linux system.)

Third time's a charm ...
Again, please disregard my earlier patch and use this one instead.

v2 had introduced formatting errors, also, two escape signs were
missing.  v3 fixes that.

   [ Mike Gabriel ]
   * New upstream release (1.5.0.0):
     - Stop advertising GNOME in default session profile. Switching to MATE.
     - Use type=auto for automatic keyboard detection as default in example
       session profiles.
     - Avoid error message in x2gothinclient_shell if the chroot does not have
       a file-or-symlink /etc/resolv.conf.
     - Use resolv.conf file from host system when running x2gothinclient_upgrade.
     - Add COPYING file.
     - Run x2gothinclient_shell and x2gothinclient_upgrade with LANG=C.
     - Don't run x2gothinclient_init inside TCE chroot operations
       (x2gothinclient_shell or x2gothinclient_upgrade).
     - Avoid x2gothinclient_init failures, use if..then..fi instead of
       the test command.
     - Init scripts: Provide status option.
     - Use lazy unmounts for unmounting bind-mounted /proc, /sys, /dev/pts
       after exiting the TCE chroot (x2gothinclient_create, x2gothinclient_shell,
       x2gothinclient_upgrade, x2gothinclient_cleanup).
     - Assure that a tmpfs under <chroot>/root gets mounted and cleanly
       unmounted (x2gothinclient_shell, x2gothinclient_upgrade).
     - Use run-parts to initialize the TCE during runtime. (Fixes: #419).
     - New TCE component: x2gothinclient-minidesktop. Instead of using
       X2Go Client as login manager, we launch a minimal MATE desktop and
       connect to X2Go sessions from there.
       . Add WindowList applet to MATE panel.
       . On $HOME creation, copy x2gothinclient-minidesktop.desktop into
         ~/Desktop.
       . Provide init script for x2gothinclient-minidesktop to handle maintenance
         tasks if TCE is installed with in minidesktop flavour.
       . Tweak MATE minidesktop via GScheme overrides.
       . Launch MATE minidesktop via LightDM autologin feature.
       . Add XDG autostart .desktop file for the TCE's X2Go Client.
       . Add VERSION.<package> file for x2gothinclient-minidesktop.
       . Make X2Go TCE layout / appearance overridable by installing
         debian-edu-artwork package.
       . Use default X2Go Client background for x2gothinclient-minidesktop.
         Provide configurable desktop background instead. Install desktop
         background as desktop-base alternative.
       . On minidesktop TCE creation based on wheezy, pull in packages from
         wheezy-backports (i.e. MATE desktop environment).
       . MATE Application menu: Move the default X2Go Client .desktop file out
         of the way (dpkg-divert) and provide the TCE's .desktop file instead.
       . Make sure that launching x2goclient via a terminal or the run command
         box in MATE results in the restricted TCE X2Go Client.
       . Make contrib and non-free software available on minidesktop TCE
         creation.
       . Disallow Caja to handle storage media (automounting, opening, etc.).
       . Enable usbmounts and smartcard rules for minidestop TCE flavour.
       . Enforce TCE session restart after logout.
       . Provide Web browser shortcut in the MATE panel.
       . Enable native-protocol-tcp module in pulseaudio on every X2Go Client
         launch. Allow access from local host only, require auth cookie.
     - Adapt management package to TCE flavouring. Add new configuration
       option in x2gothinclient_settings: TC_FLAVOUR (can be: minidesktop or
       displaymanager).
     - Use proper quotations in several X2Go TCE scripts.
     - Don't choke if /etc/resolv.conf in the TCE chroot is a symbolic link
       (in x2gothinclient_shell, x2gothinclient_upgrade).
     - README.i18n: Add file that explains the translation workflow for
       this package. Thanks to Mark Pedersen-Cook for drafting this file.
     - For X2Go TCE in display manager mode, set login backgrounds of all
       screens (if more than one is used) to a blue'ish background color.
       (Fixes: #718).
     - TCE in display manager mode: Don't align multiple heads next to
       one another if a (Wacom) touchscreen is detected in the list of heads.
       (Fixes: #719).
     - management/sbin/x2gothinclient_update: Create
       $TC_CHROOT/etc/x2go/x2gothinclient_init.d/ before copying files into it.
     - management/sbin/x2gothinclient_update: Consider known_hosts2 FreeRDP host
       key files, known_hosts was used for FreeRDP v1.x and are in fact
       deprecated nowadays.
     - management/sbin/x2gothinclient_create: Stop using deprecated --force-yes.
     - 010_x2gothinclient-fresh-home: Install FreeRDPv2's known_hosts2 file into
       ~x2gothinclient user's home dir when creating a fresh home.
     - x2gothinclient_sessions: Provide RDP-Direct session profile example that
       utilizes FreeRDPv2 rather than deprecated FreeRDPv1.x. (On Debian stretch,
       it is recommended to use FreeRDPv2 from Debian stretch-backports).
     - x2gothinclient-<TC-FLAVOUR>_start: Drop requirement of having symlink
       /etc/x2go/x2gothinclient_start. Now all code passages that use the _start
       wrapper, use the x2gothinclient-<TC-FLAVOUR>_start file directly.
   * debian/control:
     + Rename bin:package: x2gothinclient -> x2gothinclient-daemon.
     + Make sure x2gothinclient-minidesktop pulls in X11 and X2Go Client.
     + New bin:package: x2gothinclient-common. Commonly shared by
       x2gothinclient-minidesktop and x2gothinclient-displaymanager
     + Add D (displaymanager flavour, minidesktop flavour): pinentry-x2go.
     + Add D (x2gothinclient-minidesktop): lightdm.
     + Add R (x2gothinclient-minidesktop): flashplugin-nonfree.
     + Add R (x2gothinclient-chroot): ntp.
     + Move to Pre-D (x2gothinclient-minidesktop): x2goclient, lightdm. Make
       sure those packages are installed already avoiding dpkg-divert failures.
     + Allow co-installation of displaymanager and minidesktop bin:pkgs. They
       have no conflicting files and we should rather make the startup mode
       configurable through debconf.
   * debian/copyright:
     + Use copyright-format 1.0.
