This is fixed in rdesktop 1.5. I guess this will be release as an update soon after release?
I have just upgraded from FC 5 to FC6 and rdesktop has had similar issues to those detailed above. Installing rdesktop 1.5 has fixed these issues for me. An update d rdesktop package for FC6 would be much appreciated :)
Confirmed that version 1.5.0 fixes the problem. Downloaded the source rpm from the fedora repo. Downloaded latest tarball from the rdesktop site. changed the versions in the spec. . . built without problem, upgraded cleanly, and fixed the issue! This is why I love open source. Now I need to find some cute child to make puppy dog eyes at the maintainer till they get it into the updates repo. ;-)
