Bug#983533: [vinagre] black screen when launching RDP session

[Mike Gabriel]

Package: src:vinagre
Severity: grave
Version: 3.22.0-8

For a while now, vinagre when running against FreeRDP >= 2.0.0 has  
been broken in Debian. When launching an RDP session, the user sees a  
GTK window with a black rectangle in the middle.

A fix proposed by FreeRDP upstream is
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vinagre/-/commit/404a56a11469ef24a1df632847465030d81db091.patch

See:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vinagre/-/merge_requests/12

However, the vinagre version in Debian will not be fixed after the  
referenced patch (an adapted version of it for vinagre 3.22.0) has  
been applied (I just tested that).

Let me know, if I can give any more input on this. I saw from other  
open bugs that vinagre upstream is scarcely maintained. Does it make  
sense to ship vinagre in Debian 11? If yes, let me know how I can help  
fixing this issue.

Greets,
Mike
