Public bug reported:
After upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10, I observe the following problem:
While running the gnome desktop, gnome programs started on a remote X11 server
do not accept keyboard input from the remote server.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Log into your gnome desktop
2) Start another X11 server, either on a different machine or, for simplicity,
with 'Xephyr :1' (servers started differently may additionally require 'xhost
+')
3) Start a gnome application that accepts keyboard input, e.g. 'env
DISPLAY=localhost:1 gnome-terminal'
4) The program appears on the other X11-server, mouse can be used, but any
keyboard input is ignored!
5) To verify that this is a gnome problem, start a non-gnome-based program,
e.g. 'env DISPLAY=localhost:1 xterm'. Keyboard input works as expected.
6) To verify that is related to having a running gnome-session (and not to
configuration files), ssh to another account, start gnome based program there
just like described above, keyboard input works fine.
** Affects: gnome-desktop (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Package changed: meta-gnome3 (Ubuntu) => gnome-desktop (Ubuntu)
