What happens is that Windows does not start SeamlessRDPshell. I believe 
there's a Group Policy called "Always display a desktop" that can cause 
this. Also, you have to install the Terminal Services role.

Btw, you can verify if it works or not by using the MS client as well; 
just trying to launch, say, notepad by entering that into the client 
configuration.

What it says: The Window manager is buggy. But it should work anyway.
