Is there a way to Auto Close the Mac X11 Application when exiting a hosted
desktop?
When using the Mac AppPortal client is there a way to get the X11 application to close automatically when exiting the hosted Application or Desktop? Or is the only solution to manually close the X11 application for the hosted Application to launch again?
I have been looking and searching for a response to this and have actually found a workaround for this X11 issue. what needs to be done is to tell the X11 app to close when a session has been succesfully closed, this can be done with the following:
open a terminal window (user must have admin rights to the local machine)
enter the following.
defaults write org.x.X11 wm_auto_quit -bool true
this will casue the X11 window to close upon a key stroke or mouse movement once the user has logged off.
if you need to revert back simply enter the following
defaults write org.x.X11 wm_auto_quit -bool false
this will bring you back to manually closing the X11 window
+1 on this...the fact that its launching X11 (and only a single one at a time) is really annoying for MAC users, especially since it forces you to essentially use a published desktop since I don't know many business users who open email, close it, open excel, and so forth.
At this time the only way to close the X11 window is via command Q. I have entered this has a critical bug to our dev team and from what I have been told is being worked on. This is a pain due to the fact of using SSL you can only have one instance of a session running. but without SSL you can have multiple sessions running. I will update once i have more information has to when this will be resolve either thru a patch or new release
