[gtk-vnc-devel] Some keys are duplicated, some don't appear at all!

[Rob Stoddard <rstoddard telanetix com>]

I have been using your VNC widget, now I am using it in a second 
application.  The first is the Telanetix main video conference suite, 
which you can see on our web page at www.telanetix.com.  I used it to 
replace the old Tight VNC viewer which we were using up until we started 
using Fedora Core 8.  FC8 + DPMS + Tight VNC viewer were fighting in 
ways I cannot begin to explain...  Hence I hacked together a simple 
viewer using your widget... It was a slight adjustment to your example 
widget.

This second one is in a video conference tool for hospitals in 
Australia.  You see, there is a need for specialists in every town, 
since every town has an emergency room.  Unfortunately, having those 
towns stocked with every type of specialist that might be needed would 
produce an economic nightmare for their socialized medical system, so 
they want to use video conferencing to get specialist input in areas 
that don't have the specialist.

A problem that I am having with the VNC widget is that keystrokes are 
not being faithfully transmitted.  This was not a problem with my first 
application, since it is an "interface-less" viewer.   With this current 
viewer, however, I need to be able to faithfully transmit keystrokes.  
In a lot of cases, when I hold down shift and hit a key, nothing is 
transmitted.  Sometimes, when I hit a key, it is doubled or tripled.  I 
have witnessed this in my current application, but also in the example 
program.

The version I am using is the mercurial-pull just after OpenGL support 
was added.  I understand there has been a lot of work since then...  Has 
this been fixed?


Thank you for your support
