Bug#879177: Remmina: Not connecting to Windows 7 using RDP connection

[Ali Sayed]

Hi Matteo -

Thanks for responding.

i) I installed the "sid" package on "stretch" only to demonstrate that 
the latest Remmina actually works on the Stable release.  It can't 
really be that bad and I can always remove it without any serious issues.

ii) All that other "mess" is actually needed by "Vinagre" the other RDP 
connection client that actually works and allows me to get work done, 
since I really have to connect to Windows systems all day long, as much 
as I dis-like them ;)


iii) And lastly, now that I have reported this issue, I would really 
hope that the package maintainer would do some trouble shooting and 
provide a fix, I am really not qualified to debug this issue.  I really 
would like to get back to using Remmina, and was happy to see it back in 
"testing" except that its not quite working for me.


thanks

-ali
