vmware and rdesktop fullscreen don't work with compiz

[joske]

Hi,

When I use rdesktop or vmware fullscreen with compiz, I'm stuck. Keypresses register with the OS in the fullscreen window, but the screen is not updated. In rdesktop I can blindly find my way out by using ctrl-esc and then disconnecting, but with vmware, there is no way to get back to windowed mode. Is this a known bug?

thx,
jos

Try checking this option and see if it makes any difference

/apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/unredirect_fullscreen_windows

this option was already checked. It does not help.

If this option is *unchecked* it does work. Maybe this should be documented somewhere.
