Bug Description
Binary package hint: tsclient
When I connect to a RDPv5 host with tsclient the desktop freezes if I connect to a host which is down and does not send anything back.
The only thing that works during freeze is movement of the mouse pointer and you can see that the top panel is updated.
To fix I have to open up a console with CTRL-ALT-F1 and do a killall rdesktop & tsclient.
$ apt-cache policy tsclient
tsclient:
