    1) I had trouble when connecting from a Windows PC to a Linux PC running krdpserver. Initial connection has quirks (which are known and being worked on) but after connection, if you minimize the client window and go back to it later, the image no longer updates (even though the connection is still alive, because you can see the mouse move on the remote computer). I asked about this on the bug tracker, and was pointed to a MR in krdpserver that fixed an issue just like this. I set up a…

This is pretty niche and no one had reported a similar issue (and part of the problems is that KRDP does not set the host resolution to the client window size like the RDP server on Windows does, which is another issue being worked on). So I got the sources, debugged the issue,…
