[Niels De Graef]

Thanks everyone!

I filed a ticket for backporting the screencast restore_token, and it
seems like there was already a plan to backport this for RHEL 9.4 and
even to backport the RemoteDesktop restore_token as well :-)

People who're interested can follow https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-4526

Cheers,
Niels
