Re: SeamlessRDP Maximize/Minimize window problem

Thanks for the prompt reply, Chris.


It seems that  patch -p1 < rdesktop.patch
Should be      patch -p2 < rdesktop.patch


on page http://www.fontis.com.au/rdesktop >> Installation >> Item 3.


I am still working... so I'll reply in a couple of days about what
comes out of this.


Many Thanks,

Paulo Pacheco
