    Very nice. But, XRDP to Mint17 XFCE version doesn’t work properly: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1348091. Is there a command for that, or that’s Mint problem?

    IIRC, RDP on Windows does not require any configuration of the firewall/router. Iirc, Microsoft has an intermediary server which negotiates the connections. Is that the case with xRDP? thx
