[wplug] rdesktop slowing down xfree86

[John Harrold]

Sometime in February Bill Moran assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| I use rdesktop fairly frequently.  Never had any trouble with it.  On
| occasion, I've left rdesktop sessions open for 3 or 4 days on end without
| problem.

I use it frequently also. However, the period of my frequency is pretty
big, and I don't tend to do much: open spread sheet, export data to csv,
back to linux. He was, I believe, making and moving figures around in
excel.

| However, I'm using FreeBSD and I don't use KDE (either Gnome or xfce).
| So, the only thing that seems to indicate is that the problem probably
| isn't with rdesktop.  Can you temporarily switch to another WM and
| see if the problem goes away?

Yeah switching the WM was my first suggestion to him. He's using xfce right
now and hasn't mentioned any problems. Incidentally, using apt makes trying
out different WMs and DEs really easy.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
