Adam, is rdesktop still under active development? It seems that there 
are hundreds of bugs and proposed patches at their SF page. 
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=24366)

Since MS's terminal server client (mstsc) crashes on keypress in Wine, 
rdesktop is still the only option for a lot of us, but there are so many 
visual bugs that it's almost unusable... (simple example: radio buttons 
aren't drawn correctly, so you can't see which one is selected, max 256 
colors, etc)

Getting back on topic: if a tool or programs is going to be included, it 
should have an active upstream and not too many open bugs...


Cheers!

Harold.
