Xpra: Ticket #1453: gedit menus don't respond to clicks with macos client, centos 6.x server

Other combinations work fine:

Fedora servers
centos 7.x servers
windows or Linux clients

Could well be related to: #469, #770, #761

Found that this is a regression by trying the old 0.14.x LTS as server. Bisection:

0.14.x OK
0.16.x OK
0.17.x OK
1.0.x r14500 NOK
r14400 NOK
r13000 OK
r13500 OK
r14000 NOK
r13750 NOK
r13625 OK
r13690 NOK
r13660 OK
r13675 OK
r13682 OK
r13686 OK
r13688 OK
r13689 OK
r13690 NOK

So the problem is XPRA_REPARENT_ROOT which was changed to enabled by default in r13690. More details in #770, now re-opened.

So r15216 disables it again in the v1.0.x branch (v2.0 has not been changed so far because it doesn't support centos6), which means that drag and drop will not work in the next update... we have to choose one or the other.

status changed from assigned to closed
resolution set to fixed

r15262 is a better fix: we undo a hackish change so that we can keep reparent-to-root (and therefore drag-n-drop support). r15263 for v1.x branch. Will follow up in #469.
