Xpra: Ticket #785: MainSoft MainWin applications lockup the X11 server

That's what you get when you try to shoehorn the win32 API into X11...

You can tell that they are using a win32 API on X11 because you can find these weirdly named libraries:

The fix is simple once you know where to look, you need to set these 3 environment variables:

You can also find this gem: So, the obvious question is, why don't we fix all this so that the ALLWM mode works flawless? Well, we tried it and we couldnt come up with a solution which works with all the window managers on different platforms.

r8432 adds these environment variables to the default config. (can be backported safely)

Note: we may still need to improve grabs (#139), but that is no excuse for an application to completely lockup the X11 server!
