Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

When connected to a remote desktop using remmina, you can use full screen mode. There's a menu on top of the full screen window when the mouse hover over there. There's a minimize option and it works, remmina's remote session windows goes to the dock, but in that state ALT-TAB does not show remmina's minimized windows as a option to switch.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open remmina
2) Connect to a remote desktop
3) Activate full screen mode
4) Move mouse over the top center of the screen and press minimize
5) ALT-TAB to go back to the minimized window (you can't)

If the windows is not in full screen, the bug does not appear. I guess the full screen mode fools unity or compiz.

It isn't fixed. Disabling the tray icon in Remmina is a working work around but the issue is still there

This bug also affects MATE and XFCE desktops, so it's not related to Unity

Still not fixed in trusty. If no one will do a proper fix, why not simply disable "minimize to tray" by default or remove that option alltogether?

In remmina 1.2 (not yet released), we removed the "Minimize to tray" option.

Here is the removal announce: http://sourceforge.net/p/remmina/mailman/message/32754712/

And here the instructions for installing Remmina 1.2 PPA ("next" branch) on Ubuntu: https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/wiki
