Re: speed of window 'refreshes' within X11 windows

Ben, I have installed your 1.2a6 version locally and removed the Info.plist key I added previously.  The redraw problem appears to be solved.  Window updates are now nice and smooth again.  Thanks a ton to you for updating this late on Sunday and thanks to Eric for identifying the problem and providing the info to test and pinpoint what the issue was.  What great progress in a short amount of time.  Hopefully this will also help in other X11 applications as well.

Thanks so much!

I have filed an official bug report for the issue we are tracking in this thread.

 

5579078: X11 window redrawing for rdesktop, windows are 'chunky', sluggish, very slow

 

I can append any required additional information, screen video captures, etc.

 

Eric, thanks for the tip about the .plist for X11, I will try this and see what happens.
