Ah - I see. Most be a Gnome thing.  I actually use "krdc" which is a KDE 
front-end to rdesktop (RDP client) and VNC.  So sounds like the same sort 
of thing.  My smallest desktop is 1280x1024, so I don't have the problems 
of scaling that you're having.  Just thought I'd mention the difference in 
the protocols in case there was any confusion about what you're trying to 
do and what you're trying to connect to.

Peace :)
