Remmina RDP client in ubuntu 12.04
In ubuntu 12.04, there is a nice RDP client, and you do not need to install other third-party soluiton. You can find a nice and simple guide here. http://www.ubuntututorials.com/connect-windows-7-remote-desktop-ubuntu-12-04/ And for some reason, the opened window from Remmina RDP always switches the workspace automatically, that is really inconvenient. And the compizConfig may help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/348913/how-can-i-prevent-programs-from-switching-workspaces It is depressing that, even if you use the compizConfig to lock the workspace for the application, it can still switch unwilled. What a frustrating tricky thing. Finally, I find the reason, and you must click the button "Toggle fullscreen mode" to change the mode of the RDP.
