I updated test case, will that be enough or more detailed instructions
are required?

** Description changed:

  # Impact
  When using seamless applications such as Rdesktop, the window manager needs 
to send ConfigureNotify events.  This is specified in ICCCM section 4.1.5.  
Without it, software will hang and wait for a response.
  
  This greatly impacts corporate and enterprise users that are trying to
  integrate Microsoft Windows applications using Rdesktop.
  
  # Proposed Fix
  A patch has been created here and should be merged:
  
  
https://git.gnome.org/browse/metacity/commit/?h=gnome-3-24&id=f09967fc0f1d65fc7b5057b362b9657154a86079
  
  Patch for 3.18 branch which was used for Xenial upload is here:
  
  
https://git.gnome.org/browse/metacity/commit/?h=gnome-3-18&id=64e95c2ec2a1669da2ddab6c29108d718f79dfff
  
  # Test Case
- Use Rdesktop in seamless mode for a while.
+ Use rdesktop in seamless mode:
+ rdesktop "%ProgramFiles%\ThinLinc\WTSTools\seamlessrdpshell.exe" -s "notepad" 
server_ip
+ 
+ This requires server with windows that is setup for remote access. Also extra 
software is needed:
+ https://www.cendio.com/thinlinc/download-register
+ 
+ Opening multiple seamless windows and trying to switch between them
+ should not cause any noticeable delays / hangs.
  
  # Regression Potential
  The reporter has verified the fix, and it works. It has also been in Zesty 
since Mar 20th and so far nobody complained.
