Run full RDP session in windowed mode #56

Describe the solution you'd like In the command line options or in the GUI, it would be nice to have a way of running the full RDP session in windowed mode. Some apps really misbehave when they're run in single-app mode, but there's also a need to maybe go back and forth from the rest of the Linux desktop when running a full RDP session.

Thank you for suggestion, i will add a command line flag and toggle in GUI to use windowed mode in next version !

I just learned that when running xfreerdp we can use the keyboard shortcut ctrl + alt + enter to exit full-screen. But for some reason, when in windowed mode the scale of the guest doesn't auto-adjust, even though the argument /dynamic-resolution is being passed.

Anyway, what I ended up doing is using the base xfreerdp command with the same arguments and it works fine in full-screen and windowed mode (auto-scaling as needed) and using cassowary for single apps. Seems like something in the wrapper is kind of disabling dynamic resolution?

Thank you, i will look which flag is causing the issue and remove it for full sessions !

I guess /span flag is the one causing the issue !

Yup! Thatt's exactly it. For now I've built a version without the /span and multi-monitor flags, as I don't intend to use the VM on multiple screens.
