Bug Description

I typically need to connect to multiple windows machines over RDP at the same time (rdesktop was able to do this). However, with Remmina, as I connect to an additional Windows machine, it disconnects me from the other one that I'm currently logged into.

Every once in a while, I can maintain connections to two Windows machines (at the same time), but never 3.

One thing I'm noticing, is that sometimes, Remmina will indeed sustain multipl RDP sessions, but only one of them will be accessible at a time.

For example, I just connected to 2 different windows machines. As, soon as I connected to the 2nd one, the first one's session was not accessible by either "alt-tab" or "by clicking twice onto the Remmina icon on the Unity Task Bar"; when I click on the Remmina-task-bar-icon (twice), instead of showing all sessions I have open, it only shows the Remmina client manager itself and the 2nd session I launched. If I then log out of that 2nd session, the first session is accessible as though it never dropped.

there is a button on the tool bar that lets you switch between sessions. (third icon form left - switch tab pages) Or you can use the key combo Right CTRL and Left/Right arrows. I'm running Remmina 0.9.99.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
