The escape key does nothing in that dialog. Also the dsp studio dialog has the same issue.
They currently depend on the window manager to close.
I assume in your situation you don't have a window manager...

Ah, true enough! It's a minimal X11 configuration that i don't believe includes a window manager. I'll try to look into it a bit more this afternoon or tomorrow and post back

Scobie:
Thanks guys and yes can second everything added here.

ESC key does nothing, and no combination of clicks / key strokes has any effect. Additionally the various OK/Close/Yes button options that are available in the non-docker versions are not present in the (from what I have seen so far at least) DSP Windows.

Having said that some OK/Cancel buttons do appear, like Tools -> options .

It does smell like the Window Manager is not part of the VNC Server image of that is what's required to add this functionality.

I haven't put my jriver docker setup into my github repo yet (wil do soon and post here) but if anyone wants to install a minimal window manager, in this case fluxbox, this is what I did. You'll need to do these things from within your container and you can get in to your container by doing

docker exec -it <container> /bin/bash

That command will open a command shell and you're now operating in the container.

Once in, make sure the main debian repo is in your container's /etc/apt/sources.list. If it's not then

echo deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian jessie main >> /etc/apt/sources.list

then refresh the repos and install fluxbox

apt-get update
apt-get install fluxbox

Once it's installed, you should just be able to start it and exit from the container

fluxbox -display :1 &
exit

You should have a basic window manager running that will provide a close button on the About box. Note that unless you update the Dockerfile and rebuild or save the current state of your container using something like docker commit, you'll have to rerun these commands every time you restart your container

Scobie:
Worked beautifully Shortie thank you. Never realised VNC was so granular.

Cheers

Scobie
