FreeRDP developers:

In situations where xfreerdp is run from the command line, printf-style 
communications with the user works well.  In other environments, the 
end-user isn't exposed to the command line.  All interactions have to 
happen through dialogs, whether it's certificate verification, error 
conditions, or (eventually) connection information such as latency, 
remoteFX usage, frames per second, etc.  However, I imagine every vendor 
wants to do user interactions their own way (in a way that matches the 
rest of their interface), whether it is printf, dialog, zenity, gtk, qt, 
etc.

Has there been any thought to a generic interface through which xfreerdp 
communicates directly with the user, into which anyone can dynamically 
plug in their own front-end GUI-module?   (And the command-line 
interface is provided by default.)

Localization is another factor that plays into this.   The current user 
interface isn't internationalized (as of 1.0.1, at least), but a generic 
interface might allow the GUI provider to localize as they see fit.  And 
it's certainly possible that folks could contribute their various 
user-interaction implementations back to the project.

Thanks,
Daryl
