Will this patch work for rdp connections also?
I'm using remina from Ubuntu 14.04 64bit standard (Unity), to connect to a Windows 2003 server, and copy and paste, or typing directly in the remote windows computer, doesn't match properly the characters I typed in the keyboard. 

E.g., I typed a letter with an accent (ú, è, ...), and they get written
as "çu, çe...". And when copy-pasted, some weird characters are written.
Keyboard seems to be properly detected, but chars are not right for this
non ascii chars, so I presume the problem has to do with missing the
appropriate charset conversion...

Title:
  Clipboard transfer: Convert charset for non-UTF-8 peers

Status in “remmina” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When copying text from a german WinXP machine, umlauts were dropped or
  replaced by \xffffffff depending on which text editor I locally pasted
  it into. When copying local text and pasting it remotely, umlauts were
  replaced by pairs of strange symbols, indicating they might have been
  UTF-8 encoded twice.

  The first patch adds charset conversion functionality that can be activated by setting the environment variable REMMINA_VNC_REMOTE_CHARSET.
  Tested successfully with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, said WinXP peer and REMMINA_VNC_REMOTE_CHARSET="ISO-8859-15".

  The second patch is a cargo-cult work-around to allow compiling on the
  test machine, and should be avoided or replaced by a better fix if
  possible.

  The patches are based on the Remmina Git Repository at
  http://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/remmina.git / commit
  321ee0a3ded65ae0c00e055f301adfb6c78cec04 .

  Now that the patch works, aptitude reports "Package: remmina-plugin-
  vnc / State: not installed / Version: 1.0.0-1ubuntu6.1" but I'm not
  sure if the version number is of the original package with the bug or
  of the one that I compiled myself.
