Bug Description

I made an error in my original, here's a revised report:

Select "RDPV5", it clearly uses RDPv4, and the clipboard doesn't work:
rdesktop -Tremote.domain.com - Terminal Server Client -uuser -pXXXXXXXXXXXX -g1024x768 -rsound:local -rclipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD -b -0 -4 remote.domain.com

Select "RDP", it uses RDPv5 instead, and the clipboard works:
rdesktop -Tremote.domain.com - Terminal Server Client -uuser -pXXXXXXXXXXXX -g1024x768 -rsound:local -rclipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD -b -0 -5 remote.domain.com

I believe it is the tsclient package (tsclient: /usr/bin/tsclient), because when I the correct script from the terminal, the clipboard, for example works fine:
rdesktop -Tremote.domain.com - Terminal Server Client -uuser -pXXXXXXXXXXXX -g1024x768 -rsound:local -rclipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD -b -0 -5 remote.domain.com

I remember that I had the same issue some time in the past, but the current tsclient version (0.150-2ubuntu2) in Karmic seems to be fixed. It properly uses "-5" switch with rdesktop if protocol is selected as "RDPv5", and uses "-4" switch if protocol is "RDP". I checked the changelog in the tsclient package and it does not mention any fixes regarding this bug. Strange. :-o I just hope that after I upgrade to Lucid, it'll not break again ...
