Bug#685452: handle .rdp files and setup connection properly

[Anand Kumria]

Package: vinagre
Version: 3.4.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

It is becoming increasingly common for Desktop Virtualisation services
to offer out .rdp files (e.g. desktone.com).

The response as served from the webserver is typically
'application/x-rdp' (so, it would also be good if Vinagre indicated in
the desktop file that it supported this mime type).

A typical .rdp file looks like:

$ cat ~/Downloads/firefox/default/remote-access.rdp
screen mode id:i:2
session bpp:i:32
full address:s:184.106.20.146:8005
username:s:myusername
domain:s:MYDOMAIN
compression:i:1
keyboardhook:i:2
audiomode:i:0
autoreconnection enabled:i:0
authentication level:i:0
prompt for credentials:i:1
negotiate security layer:i:1
remoteapplicationmode:i:0
alternate shell:s:
shell working directory:s:
allow desktop composition:i:1
allow font smoothing:i:1
bitmapcachepersistenable:i:1
redirectprinters:i:0
redirectsmartcards:i:0
redirectcomports:i:0
redirectclipboard:i:1
redirectdrives:i:0
disable full window drag:i:0
disable menu anims:i:0
disable themes:i:0
disable wallpaper:i:0
span monitors:i:0
Use Multimon:i:0

constructing a rdesktop command line from this file is not hard, and
will result in a connection to the specified user (or a password
prompt if required).

But it would be even nicer if vinagre Just Worked (tm), which this kind of file.

Regards,
Anand
