Bug Description

Impact
------
This is a new stable release in the GNOME 42 series

It fixes some crashes reported to errors.ubuntu.com

Changes since the current Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release, 42.4:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/compare/42.4...42.7

Test Cases
----------
Complete all the test cases from
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/RemoteDesktop

except for the "New Audio Forwarding Feature" test case.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
RDP Sharing is a new feature for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as part of GNOME 42. (Previously only VNC Sharing was offered.)

RDP Sharing can be used for providing remote support so it's important that this feature works well because it may be difficult for the remote admin to fix issues in person.

gnome-remote-desktop is part of GNOME Core and falls under the GNOME Stable Release Update microrelease exception

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-remote-desktop into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-remote-desktop/42.7-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!
