[AG-TECH] OSX shared apps

[Christoph Willing]

I'm trying to move some shared apps onto a Powerbook G4 (for AG 
retreat).

These apps work well under Linux and mostly work on the G4 too. However 
those that employ a gui are a bit strange, in that they don't seem to 
take focus properly.This means they can't be resized or dragged around 
the screen with the mouse. Popup menus seem to work on them after a few 
false starts. If the gui has a menubar, it doesn't appear. 
MessageDialogs from the gui never take focus either so they never 
disappear because clicking the OK (Cancel etc) button never works.

When these apps are started manually, they're fine and behave exactly 
as expected. Its just when they're started by joining a shared app 
instance via the VenueClient's "Application Sessions" node that there 
is a problem. Its as if the VenueClient is holding onto focus, not 
allowing its "child" gui's to take it.


Has anyone work this out yet?
