I've been thinking for a while of writing a Gtk# front-end for FreeRDP.
Unfortunately, before we reach the point where FreeRDP will be entirely
usable from C#, it's going to take a while. Maybe there would be a way to
wrap xfreerdp with a Gtk# UI, but I'm not sure. The best would be to have
the actual UI written in C#.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
