It's unfortunately way too late in the release cycle to start adding new
bugs to the release, so we're forced to push these issues ahead to
ThinLinc 4.4.0 at earliest. The bug report you added (thanks!) has been
scheduled for ThinLinc 4.4.0.

On the topics of Ubuntu 14.04 vs 14.10, it's worth noting that Ubuntu
14.04 is a LTS release. Historically, we've always recommended the LTS
version of Ubuntu, and thus use it for as one of our testing platforms.
We will still support and fix ThinLinc bugs affecting newer Ubuntu
releases, but our recommendation will still be Ubuntu 14.04 until a
newer LTS shows up.

I haven't looked closer at the actual issues at hand, so I will have to
ask you to wait for updates to the bug.
