The pygtk bug is ​here I had originally created a twisted bug ​here - but the problem is not in twisted.

And here is the Fedora bug: ​660137

Gentoo bug: ​353599

Ubuntu bug: ​664920

Debian already has a patch for squeeze (against 2.17.0-4): ​pygtk-wakeupfd-fix.patch

FreeBSD: ​bug 154755

So, I believe we should just leave it to the distributors to ship patched versions of the libraries we rely on rather than trying to workaround the issue (not even sure it is possible to do so)

However: if you want to use the fixed PyGTK RPMs/DEBs we have made using the above patch, please download them manually from: ​http://winswitch.org/dists/

(as this is a system package - we will not push it to you automatically: this is your distribution's job)

We should probably watch the output of the Xvnc process like we do for NX. Looks like we can detect if the session is connected or not: vncext: Listening for VNC connections on port 16064 Means no need to test using a wait_for_socket. Connections: accepted: 127.0.0.1::51920 Means we can remove the need for the client to set the CONNECTED status. Connections: closed: 127.0.0.1::51920 (Clean disconnection) As above for AVAILABLE.

Log Xvnc output to file ~/.Xvnc/:DISPLAY.log

Note: the code has only been tested with tigervnc...
