I wrote a simple freerdp gtk widget, which should be easy to add to Boxes http://git.gnome.org/browse/gb-rdp

We would be glad to receive some help here.

I'm afraid this is unlikely to happen unless I receive patches. I don't like bugs open forever so closing this.

it's still within the scope of the project, and thus should be tracked and discussed somewhere. Furthermore, having open gnome-love bug helps too. You should reconsider keeping RFE bugs open if they are valid goals

This is "would be nice to have" and I personally have no interest in implementing it even if I had the time. Noone is stopping anyone from discussing it (even if it's closed).

BTW, I'll retain this policy for all feature requests that aren't in any way critical, have no one providing patches for and bug about it has been open for way too long without any discussion.

If there is going to be new interest in the bug in question, people will file it again (or re-open the existing one) and then I can re-consider and re-open. Two people showing interest isn't enough if they don't have time to help out. :)

gnome-love is for trivial bugs for new contributors, this hardly qualifies.

*** Bug 756291 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

So apparently we need this feature to be actually be able to completely drop Vinagre. Thanks to Michael Catanzaro for pointing that out. Re-opening..

We don't really; it would be ***REALLY NICE*** for Boxes to support RDP as I think remoting is an important feature and RDP is arguably far important than VNC, but vinagre has never been in core (so there is nothing to drop) and I support adding Boxes to core regardless.

I've started some more detailed comparisons of various remote access clients here:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Boxes/Remote

Here is a quick list of features I find in remmina for rdp:
- scaling
- quality levels
- color depth
- folder sharing
- sound forwarding
- printer sharing
- smartcard forwarding
- clipboard support
- authentication
Presumably, most of this is just frontend for freerdp features.
