Bug Description
Rationale:
freerdp crashes when HOME isn't set
Testcase:
- unset HOME
- xfreerdp <some destination>
Regression potential:
The fix has been in quantal for a while without any known regression.
Ubuntu 12.04 i386
FreeRDP 1.0.1
LTSP calls xfreerdp from xinit, but the process dies unless we first do
export HOME=${HOME:-/root}
in /usr/share/
unset HOME
xfreerdp host
on any non-thin host.

The fix exists upstream, I uploaded a test package to ppa:stgraber/ experimental
If the fix works as expected, I'll upload to quantal and SRU back to precise.
