Re: SeamlessRDP Maximize/Minimize window problem

Hi,

I have compiled and tested www.fontis.com.au/rdesktop.

The seamless part update works fine and apparently with some
improvements, using the original ubuntu 9.10 rdesktop package.

However, running the version pointed out, with the patches, compiled
in my machine, the following error messages are issued,
with the command "rdesktop <hostname>":

ERROR: Failed to extract public key from certificate
ERROR: send: Connection reset by peer
ERROR: Connection closed

Any thoughts, please?
