That's fantastic! I was not even aware this had been implemented. It would
appear the man page is out of date. Thank you!

a way to prevent xfreerdp from overriding my window manager key
bindings? I've re-posted my initial request below along with the
response from Mads. It gives some examples of why this feature would be
useful.

all keyboard input. Things also get complicated when trying to take a
screenshot of the session. Keybindings to a scrot script are swallowed,
regardless of the window manager being used. I've not yet found a
workaround for this. Is there a compile-time fix or is it something we
can expect in a future release?

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
