Thanks ttuuxxx
This rdp client work great for my puppy 4.2.1.
I am able to connect to my office winXP box.

I connect to my office LAN using a Juniper SSL VPN though Firefox 2.0.07, then I can RDP to my win box.

Though this work great, if I use full screen mode, the display on my RDP connection once I am looking at the windows desktop, does not refresh properly and I see many renmants of the last GUIs I opened, e.g. task manager, txt files, etc. I am still testing various display setting on the ts client to avoid this.

well it should have a menu item
All you have to do when you install a program is
open a terminal and type
fixmenus
then go to menu/shutdown/restart JWM
and it will fix the menus with a new icon in the proper location

Before using this and before starting the trek to getting a simple straightforward implementation on what I see as the most simple Linux desktop for the modern age (PUPPY), I want to THANK "ttuuxxx" for his fine investigation on rdesktop. Assuming Puppy proponents can make this simple, this is a major application for teckies and newbies, alike in the Puppy environment.

I believe that this topic needs a "howto" and I believe that the forum isn't ubiquitous enough. What would it take for either a Howto document or a howto video on this? This is a MAJOR TOPIC and has very widespread use.

Even if Puppy decides to include the work of "ttuuxxx" (and this is very good clean implementation), a howto would still be useful as administrators and users could get a simple guide to remote Desktop Connections to a MS machine (XP Pro, Vista Business, all MS servers, Windows7 Enterprise, etc.)

Finally, if this application does become included somehow, most of the questions and the issues that I see here should diminish or disappear.

not possible too many gnome libs needed
sh-3.00# No package 'libgnome-2.0' found
sh: No: command not found
sh-3.00# No package 'gnome-desktop-2.0' found
sh: No: command not found
sh-3.00# No package 'gnome-vfs-2.0' found
sh: No: command not found
sh-3.00# No package 'libnotify' found
sh: No: command not found
sh-3.00# No package 'libnm_glib' found
sh: No: command not found
libnotify isn't that bad but the rest forget it

Hi, i have just fresh installed a 4.3.1 ver
and installed the rdesktop 1.6.0 ver that was submited on this thread
as i am using a win 2008 server and more then one keyboard layout on the server i must use the rdesktop 1.6.0 with the -G option (prevent window manager key bindings) otherwise it will mess up key bindings on each layout change, and the only option is to restart the session.
on puppy there is no -G option avilable while on opensuse 11.2 or ubuntu latest ver it is avilable.
i can see all options with rdesktop -v

may some one have a solution for this issue ?
