ubuntu 15.04 kde 5 rdesktop to virtualbox no input

Asked by uvi

After upgrading rdesktop to virtualbox stop sending input events (mouse and keyboard).
rdesktop to windows hosts works fine.
May be bug in rdesktop or in VirtualBox Remote Display Protocol (VRDP).
rdesktop -g 1024x768 -a16 <ip> -E -z -k en-us
And this windows can't be closed by close window button, only by kill by pid.

What OS is the virtualbox?
Is it running on the same system you are connecting from?

No, it running on other host accessible through pptp to ms isa server.
Inside vbox is winxp.
Before upgrade all works. Also it works now to other win hosts with same conditions (pptp+isa).

No, it's with nat adapter. it's not rdp of winxp, it's VRDP service of vbox without authentication.
I can ping and ssh to host system, where vbox is running. I can see picture updates in rdesktop, but keyboard and mouse not work.

Seems to be a problem with rdesktop v.1.8.3.
http://sourceforge.net/p/rdesktop/bugs/387/

I downloaded and built v1.8.2 source and now mouse and keyboard works with virtualbox machines again.
