I'm trying to be on the list more and on #xrdp more, that should help. Please don't use the IRC for decisions that affect EVERYONE. It's fine for talking with another developer or support but it was not designed for that purpose. Use the mailing list. What's important to me is the 100s or 1000s of developer hour that will be put into changing the scripts and launch application for what can be avoided. If you ever worked for a thin client company, you would know the pain this can cause. Most companies have there own launch mechanism and have no need for these new options. I think we can add the new options without breaking these launch mechanisms. What you think looks "weird," others might not agree. definitely /v options look weird on Linux. Xorg uses the + - options with much success. Jay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
