Package: freerdp
Severity: important

I am using the PUEL Version of Virtualbox (www.virtualbox.org) on Debian
Squeeze successfully for some time. I connect to the virtual machines using the
remmina application.
Since remmina got upgraded to version 0.8 I cant't connect anymore. I found out
in the changelogs that remmina now uses freerdp instead of rdesktop as a
backend for RDP connections. When I try on the command line I can still connect
with "rdesktop localhost:6001", but it fails to connect when using "xfreerdp
localhost:6001" on the command line.

The resulting output of "xfreerdp localhost:6001" is:
xkbLayout: de   xkbVariant:

To reproduce this situation one needs to install Virtualbox (PUEL version, the
OSE version uses VNC instead of RDP) on Debian Squeeze and the packages
rdesktop and freerdp. Then setup a simple virtual machine in virtualbox (a
machine without virtual harddisk is sufficient, as the RDP server is also
active with the BIOS start screen only) with enabled remote access on port 6001
and authentication method "NULL". Startup the machine and use the two commands
as described above.
