Title:
  [SRU] Remmina not showing entire desktop, Windows Remote Desktop
  Connection does.

Status in remmina package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  SRU
   [Impact] 
   * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users.
  Presently, using Remmina to RDP from Yakkety/Xenial to Yakkety/Xenial prevents the entire screen from being shown as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/remmina/+bug/1619094/+attachment/4733318/+files/remmina.png , rendering the program useless.

   * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release.
  As per Remmina upstream https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/issues/986 :
  1) The Remmina 1.2.X branch found in their PPA (https://launchpad.net/~remmina-ppa-team/+archive/ubuntu/remmina-next) is a source for new upstream patches to be included quickly for simultaneous testing and use by Ubuntu users.
  2) All upstream development resources are going to >= 1.2.X. Hence, this will allow Ubuntu to be in stable support cadence with upstream, with the PPA being a test/fallback for Ubuntu users supported by upstream.
  3) 1.2.X is what the vast majority of Ubuntu users use as per upstream's data.

   * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an
     explanation of how the upload fixes this bug.
  Yakkety: 1.2.0~rcgit-15+979+next+201608300915~ubuntu16.10.1
