** Description changed:

- Broken on my recently-upgraded-from-Oneiric workstation:
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
+ Release:	14.04
  
- Suddenly, clicking the "resize window to remote display" button (the "1"
- button) in a Remmina connection results in a really bizarre, stretched-
- taller-vertically-than-my-monitor window with nothing but featureless
- grey in the middle of it.  It's basically screwed from that point on out
- (right-clicking the window handle on the taskbar and maximizing will at
- least bring the display visible, but all the controls - including tabs
- to select different sessions - will still be missing) until I close
- remmina and delete the preferences file from ~/.remmina/.  After
- deleting the prefs file and restarting Remmina, things will be back to
- normal - but if I click the "1" button, they'll screw right back up
- again.

+         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  
- It didn't do that in Oneiric! :)

+ + Shows one half a black screen vertically at the top and the next half of the remoted operating system at the bottom.
+ + A black screen as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/remmina/+bug/998589/+attachment/4281800/+files/screenshot2.png .
