2.1 rdesktop client with clipboard makes nautilus hang
There is no problem when using Windows Remote Desktop Connection or Remmina.
But rdesktop has a problem. If using rdesktop with enabling clipboard, nautilus on XRDP server will be hang (CPU usage will be high).
So if using rdesktop, please disable clipboard with “-r clipboard:off”.
$ rdesktop -r clipboard:off XRDPSERVER
