[Bug 998898] [NEW] FreeRDP does not play well with xinit

[Kevin Soviero]

Public bug reported:

Both FreeRDP and xinit make use of the "--" object.  With FreeRDP it
comes before the IP address.  With xinit it comes before the "X"
options.

Imagine the following scenario for a FreeRDP thin client:

xfreerdp -a 16 -u '' -x m -z --disable-wallpaper --disable-full-window-
drag --disable-menu-animations --disable-theming --plugin rdpsnd
--plugin rdpdr --data disk:Devices:/media/root -- 10.0.0.197

If you were to enter the above line into a "SCREEN_XX" line, it would
cause that screen not to load...  Not a good thing.

== What happens: ==

Any screen lines containing a "--" (now common with FreeRDP's CLI
syntax) causes the respective screen not to load.

== What SHOULD happen: ==

The screen.d script for xfreerdp should have some way of accounting for
"--" appearing within a given command and continue to function with it.

Since FreeRDP is the new default RDP client for Ubuntu's LTSP
implementation, this needs to be corrected.
