Description Daniel Richard G. 2008-12-11 07:55:33 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.0.4 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I am using rdesktop 1.6.0 (an OSS Windows Terminal Services client program, www.rdesktop.org) with an SVN trunk build of KWin/KDE4.

When running rdesktop with the -K option ("keep window manager key bindings"), after I click inside the window to give it the input focus, all KWin shortcuts are intercepted and sent to the Windows host at the other end of the connection. To return to the KDE environment, I either have to click outside of the rdesktop window, or disconnect via the Windows interface (the latter being my only option if rdesktop has a full-screen window).

Other window managers, including KWin circa 3.5.7, do not have this problem---WM shortcuts continue to work as they should when the input focus is inside the rdesktop window.

Hi Daniel! Are you able to reproduce this bug with KDE 4.5 too?
Comment 2 Daniel Richard G. 2010-11-14 04:52:28 UTC
I'm not running KDE anymore, so I can't test this myself. However, if this problem still exists, it should be trivial to reproduce. rdesktop is still at 1.6.0, and the original bug occurred in a stock KDE environment.
