#132

I've arrived at the rdesktop solution too. Sure, it's deprecated and all
that, but it's more stable than remmina or xfreerdp. It has other, more
minor issues with the clipboard and mouse cursors, but for someone who
manages lots of Windows systems it's really the only way to do it since the
remmina/xfreerdp regressions occurred.

I've arrived at the rdesktop solution too.  Sure, it's deprecated and all
that, but it's more stable than remmina or xfreerdp.  It has other, more
minor issues with the clipboard and mouse cursors, but for someone who
manages lots of Windows systems it's really the only way to do it since the
remmina/xfreerdp regressions occurred.
