Re: Seamlessrdp development

Hi,

We here are trying also to have a usefull rdesktop setup with
seamlessrdp integration.
We are using the svn version of rdesktop with the fontis patch to suport
several windows.
Our tests are made using 64bit rdesktop client machines and we have
faced problems with segfaults.
This has to do with ewmh_set_icon function of ewmhints.c file.
It seems (at list in 64bits) that whenever the icon info is not found in
the properties structure then there is no memory allocation for it and
segfault happens.
If this is a 64bits issue then I would like to contribute to solve this
if someone can point out what to fix.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Regards,

Luis
