Summary

0005455: XRFB doesn't maintain state across sessions

Description

Open a new remote desktop (e.g., to http://google.com) [^] in the KidsFirst world. Navigate to another page other than the original. Go away and come back (so that a separate sync is required). You're back at the original page. An out-of-Croquet VNC connection to the same remote display DOES see the new page.

Could be a postImport or other identity problem for embedded apps?

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

Need to investigate further, but I want to get this recorded so I don't forget.

Could it be that I got something screwed up about the assignment of unique IDs (the object, the session ID, and the TForm sha) such that the late-joiner has a different session ID, causing the XRFB server to start a new session?

(0008322 - 625 - 655 - 655 - 655 - 655 - 655) howardstearns 11-18-06 17:22	Embedded apps are fine. The problem is peculiar to XRFB. The appData: does not contain an objectID, but instead it is created for each new TMorphicWorld. Meanwhile, there's some other sloppiness where, from the ocean, #makeDesktop: do one future send to make a TEmbeddedAppWithMouseOver, and another future send for name:extent:data:. So if we make the objectID there, the id is from the ocean stream on the machine that made it. The solution to both issues is to make a specialized on-island object that does all the right stuff with the object id and can be made in-island or, with one future send, from off-island.
