Public bug reported:

There are 2 problems here that are preventing me from using Remmina.

1) The window jumps randomly from one workspace to another

2) In Windows 7, the Super / Windows key is stuck in the "on" position.

I have a 2 monitor set up.  I opened an RDP connection to a Windows 7
machine.  The window is defaulted to fullscreen.  Initially, I see
nothing.  I'm pretty sure that the window has opened fullscreen on a
workspace that I cannot currently see.  This has been my experience with
earlier versions of Remmina on Ubuntu 11.10.

I press Super + S to see all of my workspaces.  I find the fullscreen
Windows 7 desktop and click on it to drag it back to where I want it.
However, after a click but before I can drag it, the window jumps to
another workspace.  I click there to drag it to my preferred workspace.
It complies.

Now that it's on my preferred workspace, I double click on the workspace
to zoom into it for use.  I can click and interact on the Windows 7
desktop now, but things are about to get worse.

As I type, I notice that the letters I am typing are being understood on
the Windows 7 desktop as "Windows +" the letter that I typed.  So, if I
type "d," then the desktop clears because the Windows 7 machine things
that I typed "Windows + d."  At this point, I can't use the desktop at
all.

I had previously read, here:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/issues/7 that if I press the Super
key outside of the window, it will disable the Super / Windows key
stickiness.  So, I click away from the Windows 7 window and press the
Super key.  I see the Unity Dash and click away from that.

Now, I click on the Windows 7 desktop, hoping that I can properly use
it.  However, with one click, the desktop goes AWOL to another
workspace.  I now have to track it down again.  I press Super + S to
find it.  With one click it jumps to another workspace (again!), but it
remains at this last one.

I zoom in, by double clicking on the workspace, and prepare to use the
Windows 7 machine.  However, the Super key solution was not effective,
it's still stuck "on."


My information:

1)  Description:        Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release:        12.04

2)  remmina:
  Installed: 1.0.0-1ubuntu6
  Candidate: 1.0.0-1ubuntu6
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.0-1ubuntu6 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 
Packages

     1.0.0-1ubuntu5 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages

3)  What I expected:  to connect to a Windows 7 desktop in a fullscreen
window and be able to click on it and type without the Super / Windows
key stuck on and without the window jumping to another workspace at
random.

4)  What happened instead:  the Windows 7 desktop jumps to another
workspace at random and the Super / Windows key is stuck in the "on"
position.
