Bug Description

Binary package hint: remmina

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
Release: 15.04

2) apt-cache policy remmina
remmina:
  Installed: 1.1.1-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.1.1-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1.1.1-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen in a brand new install of remmina is click button New > Name example > Server 192.168.1.2 > Username example > Password example > next to Resolution click radio button Use client resolution > click button Save > highlight the new connection > Tools > Export > Name example > Save and it doesn't crash.

4) What happens instead is it crashes consistently:
Feb 6 11:56:17 tpnwst kernel: [64519.964204] remmina[2761]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fd92b93236a sp 00007fffec144638 error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so[7fd92b8b1000+17a000]

WORKAROUND: Use a custom resolution.

Reproducible since Ubuntu 10.10 remmina 0.9.3.1-0~ppa2, and in Trusty.

Upstream fix: https://github.com/giox069/Remmina/commit/1a27c0a088a8e6af97ea9e4ef740f58f1a858777
