Bug Description

Binary package hint: rdesktop

When I run rdesktop with just the IP of my windows VM, I am able to see the desktop no problem. However, when I try to use seamless rdp, I get errors.

I'm using the following command:

vadmin@ubu1004:~$ rdesktop -A -s "c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe notepad" 192.168.5.63 -u test -p test

Resulting output:

Autoselected keyboard map en-us
WARNING: Broken Window Manager: Timeout while waiting for ConfigureNotify
WARNING: Broken Window Manager: doesn't handle restack (window was moved to bottom)
WARNING: Remote desktop does not support colour depth 24; falling back to 16
ERROR: send: Connection reset by peer
vadmin@ubu1004:~$

I have the same error (only with slightly different warnings).

fabien@xps:~$ rdesktop -u fabien -p fabien -A 192.168.0.17 -s 'c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe notepad.exe'
Autoselected keyboard map fr

It works when I launch the same command without -A

Here is a strace of the working command (without -A)

The differences (other that addresses) start at line 483

I receive a segfault with the same errors whenever opening a new window and various other times. In the attached strace log, I floated the mouse over a tab in a running firefox window. I don't understand these traces, but I thought this might be different enough to be meaningful.
