Totally disable the Windows key in freerdp. This is to works around a long standing issue where it appears the Window key is "stuck" causing explorer and run windows to pop open, accidental screen locks, and all sorts of unintended Windows actions. This only changes the freerdp under X11. WARNING: MASSIVE HACK!!!
