I concur, although I can only base this on experiences with Ubuntu as I haven't
toyed with too many other distributions in the last few years. It's so
bizarrely random as well that it can be extremely frustrating.
The only time it has NOT been random is when I noticed there is a 'hiccup' in
network functionality for known reasons. When this happens, the entire
rdesktop locks up. My thoughts are there should be much better methods of
handling hiccups rather than just letting the session freeze up (and maybe
eventually timeout). Perhaps an indication there is a network issue and then
the ability to close/restart the session? As it is now, a full screen RDP
session that freezes up causes the entire X GUI session to be locked. The
solution is to switch to a virtual console, login, detemine the process ID and
then manually kill the process, and then switch back to the GUI and restart the
rdp connection. A major pain in the you know what..
I do appreciate the hard work of developers, especially in an open source world,
so I will cross my fingers that there is more work put into this project.
Thanks.
