Bug Description

Binary package hint: xrdp

Steps to reproduce:

1. Vanilla install of Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 x64 on a VirtualBox vm, (Ubuntu 10.04 x64 host).
2. Use Ubuntu Software Center to install xrdp.
3. Start the VM using vboxheadless.
4. Remote into the VM using rdesktop on the host.
5. Open any window and hit the "d" key, thus causing the window to be hidden due to the "show desktop" shortcut being triggered.

Have seen this problem reported in Ubuntu forums and in another xrdp bug here at launchpad, however I don't believe it to be related to that bug (which I've also experienced in a different setting).

I'm experiencing the same problem on Ubuntu 10.10 x64 (upgraded from 10.04). This is a native install not through VirtualBox.
Basically any keys that are mapped in combination with super (win) are triggered. It seems like the super key is stuck on.
e.g.
typing d -> win+d (show desktop)
typing <space -> win+<space> launch gnome-do
Because of this xrdp is rendered useless for most purposes.

I am also experiencing this problem, had been previously fixed in past versions.

10.10 x64 and xrdp 0.5.0

This thread contains a workaround: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1595871
However a fix that resolves it for all users or would be best.
