xzibit is a per-window VNC system. Its development is supported by Collabora Ltd. A. Instructions: 1. make sure you have wmctrl, xlogo, libvncserver, Xephyr, and gtk-vnc installed. (some of these are checked by autotools, some of them aren't yet.) 2. run ./autogen.sh 3. run make install 4. if your mutter is expecting plugins in /usr/lib, you may need to run sudo cp /usr/local/lib/mutter/plugins/xzibit.so \ /usr/lib/mutter/plugins/ (this should really be done in autotools) 5. use gconf-editor to set /apps/mutter/general/clutter_plugins to a list containing the string xzibit 6. run xzibit-demo That's all to be going on with. B. More details: xzibit-demo calls xzibit-run with some useful arguments. xzibit-run launches two Xephyrs, :3 and :4, and sets up a mutter instance on both of them. It then runs xzibit-autoshare on :3. xzibit-autoshare automatically sets itself as shared after a few seconds. This should cause it to appear on :4 as well. For more information, read the protocol document in doc/. C. What's left to do: Vital: * Telepathy support. At present it only works across the loopback interface. The next release will send the windows over Tubes. * Getting xinput2 support fully working, so we can fake mouse clicks and keypresses on arbitrary windows. * "Doppelganger" pointers, i.e. ones which track the movement on the other display. Less important: * Audio support. This is partly-written in a branch. D. Toggling sharing of windows xzibit-toggle is a simple program to let you click on a window and share it (or unshare it). E. The envelope patch There is a patch, not supplied here, to add an envelope button to mutter's window decorations. This button changes colour to reflect the sharing status of the window. When pressed, it runs the src/xzibit-share script. This patch can't currently be done in a plugin, and since there are slightly less convenient but much less intrusive ways to do the same thing, I left it out. It may be better to do this using Canonical's "windicators" idea. F.
