Background-info: vncviewer has two modes of operation: windowed and fullscreen - windowed renders the desktop of the remote machine (vnc-server) in an X11-window (including decorations like minimize- and maximize); selecting fullscreen in vncviewer displays the display of the remote machine fullscreen on the vnc client machine. To be specific, I've got a 1280x1024 X11-display; this is where the vncclient is running. From this machine I'm accessing a Windows 2000 machine that also has a 1280x1024 desktop. So I've got the same resulution on both the client- and server machine. Now for the problem: Switching between windowed- and fullscreen-mode in vncviewer is done by bringing up a popup window in the vncviewer (F8-button) allowing me to select (or de-select) fullscreen. When going from windowed- to fullscreen mode in vncviewer using the method described above the vncviewer-display covers the entire screen - with the exception of the top Gnome panel. Put in another way: The vncviewer display is not really full-screen but shifted downwards starting below the top Gnome panel. Even worse, when I now try to bring up the vncviewer menu by pressing F8 again (in order to go from fullscreen- to windowed mode) nothing happens. Without being able to get into windowed-mode the vncviewer-display covers my entire screen and even worse than that: There's absolutely no way to bring other X11-windows in front! Here's my environment: FreeBSD 5.3 Gnome 2.8 VNC 3.3.7 from ports - also tried with tightvnc 1.2.9 Has anybody else experienced this problem? Anything that can be done against it? Thanks much in advance for your help, -ewald
