VMWare Horizon agent for Linux subpar as compared to Windows?

We're currently using the latest server/client side (4.1.0 Build 3976982) binaries but are seeing a big discrepancy between how the Linux-based client-side horizon agent works as compared to Windows.

 

An example:

  • From Windows, if you launch a published application (Outlook) it can be dragged across any monitor. You can subsequently launch a second different published application (Excel) and they are completely independent of each other and can be dragged across all screens. It’s great. Even calendar popups from Outlook get a dedicated window.
  • From Linux, if you launch a published application, it appears to be forced to render within the VMWare Horizon Client window itself. If you subsequently launch a second published application, it basically shares the same window meaning you can't look at two applications simultaneously. This behavior is essentially no different than running rdesktop from linux into a windows target and working within that “single pane”.

 

Is this a known limitation for the Linux agent or is it possible to get multiple, independent, published applications running via the Linux agent across multiple monitors?

 

Thanks!
