Hello
I am trying to build multiseat system with Fedora 20 and Plugable DC-125. Most of the problems, connected with our custom built software are already resolved, but now we face hugh problem with custom built mono application.
The application uses windows forms and cannot be started from plugable devices. It works if started from the main station. Here is the error
Code:
exception inside UnhandledException handler: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

In my opinion the problem is that the application doesn't know it has been launched from DISPLAY different than 0 and perhaps it is gdm issue.
If I connect remotely with ssh -X and launch the application, it runs and the DISPLAY is not 0, but when launched from plugable, it thinks it si from 0 (I think so).
I made launcher with setting the propper display before launch, but result is the same.
I tryed multiple windows forms libgdiplus applications (downloaded from internet) and result is the same. I tryed mono gtk-sharp applications and they work as expected.
The last thing I tryed was to run the application in Xephyr nested server and it works, but I have to make a lot of settings, so it is not acceptable decision for my needs.
Please, advice how to fix this issue or is there a way to some how virtualize this application and to run it other way.
Thank you in advance
