I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or I've come across a bug.

I'm trying to connect to a Windows7 OS running in virtualbox with Remote
Assistance enabled and this is what I get:

xfreerdp -u fred -p - 192.168.2.5:69357 -f
connecting to 192.168.2.5:69357
connecting to 192.168.2.5:69357
connecting to 192.168.2.5:69357
Warning xf_GetWindowProperty (140): Property 445 does not exist

A window tries to be formed momentarily, but it collapses immediately. Adding
different --sec (rdp|tls|nla) options, or compression, or pretty much any other
options (other than plugins which I don't know if they are needed) makes no
difference.

I noticed that the message "Warning xf_GetWindowProperty (140): Property 445
does not exist" comes up even when there is no Windows7 Rremote Assistance
session running - so this is a client problem.

I can't see anything in the logs (either on Gentoo or in Windows7 Event
Viewer).

Any ideas?

Correction - this is the exact error I'm getting:

$ xfreerdp -u fred -p - 192.168.2.5:49163
