I doubt many users of Guix use RDP, disabling it in Vinagre until it supports the new version of FreeRDP sounds reasonable to me. Otherwise we're effectively "forking" FreeRDP, just for Vinagre. That said, since we have the backported patch already, I'm fine with either approach. But we should decide soon so Vinagre works again. :-) The patch looks good to my untrained eyes.
