xen discuss - Jun 2008 - HVM-WindowsXP DomU freezes 10 second while RDP-client try to connect to

i installed an HVM WinXP-SP2 (english) on a xen-3.2.1 @ fedora-core8.

if I try to connect to the RDP-port, the winxp-DomU freeze for about 10 seconds
(can''t make any action on the vnc-viewer, all running programs do not
update there view (e.g. windows clock does not run) and the "xm top"
shows me 100% CPU load on this domain.

After this 10 seconds, I got the normal rdp-login and all works fine ...

I reinstalled the winxp from scratch with a german-version - the same behavior.

a) IMPORTANT: Could somebody confirm this behavior on a solaris-Dom0 ? 
Please try to connect via mstsc/rdesktop to your HVM-WindowsXP ... please try
it.

b) Does somebody could help me to track down this prob ?

regards Danny

I have been using rdesktop to connect to Windows XP domUs on Solaris 
dom0 for some time now. There may be such a delay, I haven''t noticed 
because when I launch rdesktop I stop playing around on the VNC console. 
I can check tomorrow to see if this happens to me.

Do you have any experience connecting via RDP to Windows on the metal? 
Maybe this is just what happens to Windows when it moves your session 
from the console to an RDP session? I imagine it needs to save some 
state or do some set-up in order to move your desktop session over.
