[Bug 1321008] Re: Screen(s) froze in Gnome-shell.

 

I worked arround the problem by running rdesktop with the -b flag - Info
from rdesktop man: "-b : Force the server to send screen updates as
bitmaps rather than using higher-level drawing operations."

Since i did this i havn't had this problem even once, but it takes a
heavy toll on the bandwidth, and on slow connections this is far from
ideal.

Hope you find a fix.

  Screen(s) froze in Gnome-shell when i was working in rdesktop.

  The laptop (Dell E6520) was seated in a dock with 2 screens attached.
