Application Quirks
Note: some of these issues may be at least partially resolved in newer versions, or have known workarounds. See the ticket links for details.
Here is a list of applications which have bugs that need to be resolved, these bugs cannot be fixed in xpra, only in each misbehaving application:
- Google Chrome (and chromium and derivatives): transient windows focus issues #519, upstream bug: chromium bug 349322
- firefox and thunderbird: can only be launched on a single display per user account
- handbrake:
- "window resize loop" #532, upstream bug (being ignored): Program border flickering with handbrake-gtk
- the tray icon is not functional (abuse of the XEMBED api)
- Java applications:
- Mainsoft's mainwin applications can lockup the X11 server: #785
These application may behave oddly:
- kate editor and KMail: unnecessary repaints #522, this is causing video encodings to degrade quality. Increase the minimum quality setting or use a lossless encoding if you are having issues.
- KDE, see wiki/FAQ
