Comment 28 for bug 81854

FYI: I am pretty sure freerdp (a rdesktop fork) fixes this issue with the refactoring they have been doing.

@PaulH (huffton), I am quite certain this lockup described has nothing to do with compiz. I see this in a thinclient setup where there there is no window manager at all, just rdesktop. But perhaps you are seeing a separate problem unrelated to the initial report.
