Hi Mike!

I'm not too sure how much this will help you to figure out the problem
but may give a few hints.
It seems Remmina and Wayland don't get along all that well. Remmina
plays nice with X11, but Bookworm uses Wayland. There is a way to
switch to Wayland back to X11 -- should be easy enough to find else with
a bit of digging I could find it in my notes. I elected not to switch
back as thinking if I revert back then ll run into problems because
eventually X11 will be depreciated and I'm back to the current problem.
IceWM seems to use (or plays nice with) Wayland. LXQT seems to be based
on X11: I was looking around for hints and one of the hits was "LXQt
Desktop Now '100%' Ready For Wayland", which to me implies it currently
uses X11, which might be why Remmina uses it.
So back to your issue, based on my playing-arounds between my desktop
using Ubuntu 22.04 and using Remmina to connect to the various other
computers (desktops using Ubuntua 22.04 and earlier) plus Raspberry Pi's
using Bookwork, Bullseye (I don't think prior), Remmina generally
connects nicely to anyone except if running Bookworm. Wayland is the
issue per the Raspberry Pi forums, probably have also seen in Ask Ubuntu
and Spiceworks, just skimming over as for me "known issue, not an easy
fix, others smarter than me are having the same problem...."
(This all sounds so much better in my head than when reading!)
You might want to try an alternative remote desktop utility; here I've
been using TigerVNC. ...Using Remmina because of its nice chart/listing
feature: I can scan the chart for "Pi Clock" instead of 192.168.4.64).
For the Wayland-running systems I use TigerVNC and right now just type
in the IP.
(When experimenting with an alternative remote utilty, or anything, I'd
recommed trying on a VM - virtual machine. That way if you don 't like
it it's not leaving traces behind in your real system, regardless of
pirging, etc.)
