Bug Description

Upstream:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/issues/534

What is expected to happen with Remmina in Vivid or Wily, is RDP to a Vivid server with xrdp, x11vnc, and using gnome-flashback (Metacity) is it shows the entire desktop successfully.

What happens instead is it is missing the lower ~5% on the right hand side (truncating part of the gnome-panel icons) and the bottom (where the windows are) as per the attached screenshot. This does not happen from Windows 8.1 RDC so this is a Remmina issue. Tried toggling Scaled Mode, no change.

Remmina Desktop Preference > Basic tab > Resolution Use client resolution > Color depth High color (16 bpp), High color (15 bpp), and 256 colors (8 bpp) > Advanced tab > Quality Best (slowest), Sound Off > Security Negotiate > all other configurations unchecked.

Vivid setup:
sudo apt-get -y install xrdp gnome-session-flashback gnome-flashback x11vnc && sudo apt-get -y remove vnc4server && sudo nano /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

Change the top part to the following:
#START

bitmap_cache=yes
bitmap_compression=yes
port=3389
crypt_level=high
channel_code=1
max_bpp=24

sudo chmod u+x /etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service

sudo systemctl enable x11vnc.service
sudo reboot now
