For the archives: This is because I was switching focus by using CMD-TAB (on my Mac) which was also running the Linux VM used to run xfreerdp locally. This sends a key-down for CMD, but as focus is lost, the key up for CMD is not sent (in either guacamole or x11freerdp). When focus is restored, the VM still thinks CMD is held down. The keyboard thus doesn't work. Pressing and releasing CMD alone fixes this. I suspect this is a tiny bug in the x11freerdp client (in that it should probably do key-ups when focus is lost), but in general apologies for the noise. -- Alex Bligh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
