This patch stops us from drawing the spice client watermark at the top of
the virtual machine view. We have had requests through several channels to
remove this as it has little added value, and is seen as annoying by some.
Given that we now also have a bugzilla for this I think it is time we really
remove it.
Currently when going / starting fullscreen if the guest resolution for one of
the monitors is higher then that monitor on the client can handle, we show a
white screen. Leaving the user stuck (unless they know the fullscreen key
switch combi) with a white screen when starting the client fullscreen from
the XPI.
This patch changes the client to fall back to windowed mode in this case
instead.
Currently when compiled with the gui enabled if you specify a host to connect
to on the cmdline the gui flashes by (show_gui gets called, then the connect
handler calls hide_gui as soon as the connection is made).
This patch removes this ugly flashing by of the gui.
Currently we are calling show_info_layer from hide_gui in application.cpp, but
there are 2 cases where this does not happen:
1) When compiled without gui support hide_gui is a complete nop, so we never
show the info layer when compiled without gui support
2) When run with --controller we never show the gui, and hide_gui
checks if there is a gui to hide as the first thing and if not returns
resulting in show_info_layer not being called, and thus the info layer
not showing when launched from the xpi
This patch fixes both by adding a call to show_info_layer from
on_visibility_start note that on_visibility_start also calls hide_gui,
so in some cases show_info_layer may be called twice, this is not a
problem as show_info_layer is protected against this.
The activex browser plugin is sending unicode16 text, where as the
xpi one is sending utf8 text. After discussing this on irc we've decided
that utf8 is what we want to use. So the client (this patch), and the
activex will be changed to expect resp. send utf8 text as the title.
Now that Application::hide_me actually does what the name suggests
(hide the entire client, ie all client windows), the gui using it to
not show the gui layer leads to the entire client disappearing when
one presses close in the GUI or dismisses a GUI dialog. This patch makes
the GUI code call hide_gui instead of hide_me, fixing this.
1) Make the order when starting up in fullscreen mode the same as when
switching from window -> fullscreen:
First set the mode, then make the window fullscreen
2) Change the order when leaving fullscreen mode, first restore the original
monitor mode, then make the window non fullscreen. Changing the monitor
mode in X11 causes the window manager to re-arrange windows, and if this
happens while compiz is busy mapping the window it gets confused and
maps the window with a maxmimized size.
Spice client controller enables external control (e.g., by XPI or ActiveX) of
the client functionality.
The controller protocol enables setting parameters (host, port, sport, pwd,
secure channels, disabled channels, title, menus, hotkeys etc.), connecting
the server, showing and hiding the client etc.
The controller is based on the cross-platform named pipe.
Spice foreign menu enables external control of the client menu.
The foreignmenu protocol enables an external application to:
add a submenu, set its title, clear it, add/modify/remove an item etc.
Foreign menu is based on the cross-platform named pipe.
-includes most of Hans' review fixes (up to the SelectionRequest comment [4]) & X11 wips sent by Hans (10x!)
-use the VD_AGENT_CLIPBOARD_* types in the platform code
-add ifs for VD_AGENT_CAP_CLIPBOARD_BY_DEMAND in both sides
-support the GRAB/REQUEST/DATA/RELEASE verbs in both ways
-pasting clipboard data is now "only-by-demand" from both sides (client and agent), whose behavior is symmetric
-client and agent don't read or send the contents of the clipboard unnecessarily (e.g. copy, internal paste, repeating paste, focus change)
-set client as clipboard listener instead of application
-add atexit(cleanup) in win platform
linux:
-instead of clipboard atom selection instead of XA_PRIMARY
-enable USE_XRANDR_1_2 and support clipboard in MultyMonScreen
-send utf8 with no null termination, remove ++size
-add xfixes in configure.ac & Makefile.am
windows:
-bonus: support image cut & paste, currently only on windows
not done yet:
-clipboards formats are still uint32_t, not mime types stores as strings
-platform_win is still used, not the root window
-not replaced the ugly windows CF_DIB in agent/winclient
* windows - untested
* linux - small strings both ways, large implemented differently:
* client to guest - support INCR
* guest to client - we supply a single possibly very large property
* requires server changes in next patch to work with spice-vmc
pixman_region32_t is an efficient well tested region implementation (its
the one used in X) that we already depend on via pixman and use in
some places. No need to have a custom region implementation.
3 available mechanisms: by public key, by host name, and by certificate subject name.
In the former method, chain of trust verification is not performed.
The CA certificate files are looked for under <spice-config-dir>/spice_truststore.pem
windows <spice-config-dir>=%APPDATA%\spicec\

Screen now have to modes locked and unlocked.
In unlocked mode, the application can change screen size and so
reduce resolution changing. The application can also choose to
change window size while not in full screen mode.
In locked mode the application must ewtain locker screen size
setting.
