Hi, Thanks for the idea and the proposal. This text seems like it is a mix between wanting to be in chapter 2 "What is new" and chapter 5 "issues to be aware of for stretch". It could do with a more targeted rewrite for either or both. * Does xrdp need any reconfiguration after/for the upgrade? * Or can the admin simply enable a new configuration to support remote X sessions without needing a VNC server? Thanks, ~Niels
