Using seamless windows for Windows applications

With seamless windows, the Windows application server manages the display of the application. This means an application's windows behave in the same way as an application running on a Windows application server, regardless of the user's desktop environment. The window can be resized, stacked, maximized and minimized. The Windows Start Menu and Taskbar do not display.

Note seamless windows are not suitable for displaying Windows desktop sessions: use a kiosk or independent window instead.

To use seamless windows:

If any of the above conditions are not met, the Windows application displays in an independent window instead.

You can only use seamless windows with the browser-based webtop.

Notes

Gnome 2.0.0 Desktop issue

Applications configured to display in seamless windows may not display correctly when accessed from a Gnome 2.0.0 Desktop. This is caused by an unpatched version of the Metacity Window Manager. The solution is to install the Gnome 2.0.0 Window Manager patch. Patch ID: 115780-03. Available from the SunSolve web site (http://sunsolve.sun.com)
