Changed the add-on in xdrp on the server in precise / 12.04 from tightvncserver to vnc4server, and the problem disappeared. Thus it was tightvncserver causing the error.
** Package changed: rdesktop (Ubuntu) => tightvnc (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - lucid tsclient channel_register error on connecting to precise + tightvnc sends bad request causing rdesktop and/or remmina to crash with Unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rdesktop in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080006 Title: tightvnc sends bad request causing rdesktop and/or remmina to crash with Unity Status in “tightvnc” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have now set up a local precise machine. I use xrdp to connect to the new box. On the old machine, I use tsclient in lucid. All is fine and dandy till I try to launch an application in the precise screen.
