example screenshot

Newest remmina shows strange mostly-opaque white blocks over most text & graphics when connecting via RDP to Windows hosts, making it almost unusable.  Screenshot attached here, upstream bug has details, some "me too!" reports, and now, a FIX!

https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/issues/111

WRT a single patch fix versus snapshot bump, upstream says "Cherry-pick the commit, as Remmina is not building against current FreeRDP master (some changes needed)."  I have verified that the patch applies cleanly against our 1.0.0_p20121004 snapshot, and resolves the issue.

Thanks!

I'm not good at reading upstream's bug tracker very well I guess-- soon after the initial fix, he reports that remmina & freerdp git are building again, so new snapshots are an option.  Single patch is still nice and clean and perfectly workable, though.

Patch applied. Thanks a bunch for following up.
