Package: rdesktop
Version: 1.4.1-1.1
Followup-For: Bug #317068

I'm seeing a similar behavior.  I connect over a vpn which sometimes
drops the connection or silently hangs.  I don't think you get any TCP
disconnects when this happens.  Once in this state, if I go into the
rdesktop window (which I believe has always been at a locked desktop
screen), it will take the keyboard and mouse but not give them back.
The mouse can move out of the window if it's not full screened, but I
cannot right click to close the rdesktop window and the keyboard is
completely taken.  Ssh'ing into the local machine and killing rdesktop
restores the keyboard and mouse.

For the rdesktop developers, I'd suggest adding a timeout on waiting for
a response from the server.  Also, make sure to accept focus changes and
changes in and out of full screen mode when the remote system is not
responsive.

Thanks for all your hard work!
