[Thinlinc-technical] Can't start seamlessRDP application?

[Nicolas Pais]

Hi, I'm new to this list, and since I didn't know exactly where to go to 
find help (apart from searching the series of tubes that is the 
Internet), I came across this list.
I already submitted a bug report some hours ago (#4767) but since I 
didn't get anything yet and since I'm not entirely sure where to go, I 
decided to post here as well.

I seem to be having issues, or not completely understanding how this 
works, with rDesktop with SeamlessRDP/WTS Tools 4.1.0 on Windows XP Pro 
32bit.

I downloaded the server side component, seamlessrdpshell, installed it 
using the WTS Tools, and it installed fine. I even copied the files to 
other directories for commodity.

However, following the instructions on the site, I come across this line:

"Run rdesktop with shell and application specified as the examples below 
depending on version:

For rdesktop verions ? 1.7.1 use:
rdesktop -A -s "%ProgramFiles%\ThinLinc\WTSTools\seamlessrdpshell.exe 
notepad""

When I try to do that though, I even tried the full path (without 
%ProgramFiles%) and even other locations, and I get the following error 
message: Seamless RDP Shell  should be started without any arguments.

Looking at the source code, I see these lines:

if (strlen(cmdline) != 0) {
         messageW
             (L"Seamless RDP Shell should be started without any 
arguments.");
         return -1;
     }

Are the instructions published on the site not valid anymore, does one 
have touse another method, or what happened, really? Or did someone goof 
up (or forgotto update the site)? I'm using rdesktop 1.7.0 on Ubuntu 
12.04 64bit.

I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out on this, or at least 
point me in the right direction. Thanks!
