Xtightvncviewer and keyboard focus
This may only apply to xtightvncviewer in Ubuntu Edgy, but it was an annoying enough problem that I want to make a note of it. Xtightvncviewer doesn’t capture keyboard input properly with it’s default settings, meaning that you can’t type anything on remote computers, and you can’t access the F8 menu to quit or manage the VNC session. If you’re in full screen mode you have to terminate the process manually from a VT, which is hardly elegant. Happily, there’s an easy way to get round this problem.
Open or create the file ~/.Xdefaults and add the following line:xtightvncviewer*grabKeyboard: TrueLog out, log back in again, and voilà, fixed.
