Currently, I can access to all applications from my gnome "Applications" tab (category games/internet/sound&video etc ...), but I want to give access to only one application, so is it possible now ?

I have two questions: 1) I'm using Fedora and windows, I can connect from windows to both windows and fedora but i can't connect from fedora to windows, my windows user has no password, does having a password is a requisite to connect? 2) How do I get those nice drop-down app menus shown in the screenshots (the dialog based control is not that user friendly).

You are right, this won't work as-is... I've created a bug for it: http://shifter.devloop.org.uk/trac/ticket/109 > 2) How do I get those nice drop-down app menus shown in the screenshots (the > dialog based control is not that user friendly). I've added it to the FAQ: http://shifter.devloop.org.uk/faq.html#howto_use_menumode "Go to 'Configuration', select the 'User Interface' and toggle the 'Use Nested Menus' option" Do you think this should be the default?

Yes exactly. Just make sure that the version from the .deb doesn't get used - maybe remove that? --disable-gio shouldn't be necessary for you, the code should be able to detect that gio is missing.

You can find all the beta packages here: http://shifter.devloop.org.uk/beta/ Unless any major showstopper bugs are found in the next week or so, this version will become the final 0.10.0 Please give it a whirl if you can. The most noticable changes are: * The server can now be re-started at any time without affecting the sessions it controls * RDP support for exporting Windows displays * Much better (rewritten) sound support using GStreamer * MacOSX: server support, RDP, PowerPC builds * Better diagnostic messages and error reporting * Many bug fixes, better platform compatibility support Thanks! Antoine ================================================================================ Release Notes: 1) Protocol specific enhancements: * Functional RDP support. * VNC: use new vncpasswd on server to generate password values. Patch has been merged upstream in TigerVNC. * VNC support enhancements: show host in window name, detect client process messages and act accordingly, try to prevent alert popups. * SSH X11 Display forwarding: better detection of failures. * SSH: try to detect if SSH allows X11Forwarding on unix platforms. * Xpra: builds for version 0.0.7.15 depend on Xvfb only (as Xvnc does not work well enough as an Xvfb alternative yet). * Xpra: added switch to disable PulseAudio support (since we now provide our own sound system) 2) User Interface: * Sound support via gstreamer and RTSP, which is close to a hundred times more efficient than pulseaudio over TCP (not available on MacOSX). Also allows us to export the sound from regular X11 sessions. * Notifications: messages should be more informative, and last longer in case of errors. * Prevent multiple connection windows from swarming the user, and remove them if the server has already disconnected. * New application icons to try to blend it to each platform's default themes. * Disabled SVG icons as the MacOSX libraries do not support this format. * Use menu mode by default (dialog mode can be enabled via configuration panel). * More keyboard shortcuts: enter to submit password form, escape to close any form. 3) Platform specific changes: * MacOSX server support embedded in the applet and avoid "double dock icon". * MacOSX and Windows builds now include full version information in "About" box. * MacOSX: detect if the application's location has changed and update paths accordingly. * MacOSX: basic SSH server support, exporting the default X11 applications. * MacOSX: support ARD (Apple Remote Desktop), which is a VNC server. * MacOSX: bundle newer versions of nxproxy and TigerVNC. * Windows: detect if a VNC server is already running and offer to stop it. * *nix: provide location for system wide sane defaults in /etc * *nix: better parsing for utmp entries found via "last -F" * *nix: detect X11 session name using "DESKTOP_SESSION" 4) General: * Try to detect firewalls blocking access to sessions and report to user. * Use daemon wrapper to ensure all session utilities can outlive the server process and be picked up again after a restart. * Each session gets is own dbus instance. * Moved all the session files to the same location. (for all protocols) * More efficient loading, lazy initialization of system objects. * Bookmarks now record the protocol settings too (screen_size, bit depth, etc..) * Split the code to better ensure separation of client and server side classes. (and load faster) * Pre-launch failures: give up only if the failures happened recently. * Try harder to detect local servers and try to use a local link for those. 5) Security: * Try harder to remove passwords in the log files, does not apply to debug mode. * Now using a separate XAUTHORITY file per session (except when SELinux is enabled) 6) Release: * CentOS, Fedora 14 and Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat builds. * MacOSX PowerPC build now provided. * Fixed support for Debian Lenny (and others) which do not have gio. (can be tested with --no-gio) From chris0wj at gmail.com Sun Jul 18 13:10:09 2010 From: chris0wj at gmail.com (Chris Wj) Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2010 08:10:09 -0400 Subject: [shifter-users] Alternate multiple desktop solution (x2x) Message-ID: I just started using x2x and it is really simple to use.
