Bug Description
Binary package hint: tsclient
I regularly use tsclient (Applications --> Internet --> Terminal Server Client) to connect to various different Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 (R2/SP2) servers via RDP. On exit the server seems to send back some informational messages, which the client interprets as being error messages, caused by a premature disconnection.
The two attached messages show the errors I get if selecting RDPv5 or RDP as the protocol for connection.
The messages in themselves are not a show stopper. However, the fact that it then tries to reconnect after 30 seconds is. If you let the 30 seconds expire, it will reconnect, and give you the Terminal Server login screen again. If you click cancel on this login screen, tsclient gets the errors again, and starts the 30 second count down to reconnection again, causing much frustration for the user (me).
