Bug Description

Impact
------
This is a new stable release in the GNOME 44 series

It fixes some crashes reported to errors.ubuntu.com

Changes since the current Ubuntu 23.04 release, 44.0:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/compare/44.0...44.2

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

In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

I completed the Basic RDP Test Case from the wiki (the only test case that applied).

I installed gnome-remote-desktop 44.2-0ubuntu1 on my host Ubuntu 23.04 computer.

I was able to successfully connect using a second Ubuntu 23.04 computer as guest using the Remmina apt package.
