I've found reports of this bug back as far as 2005. I affects me too on 8.04 and 8.10. It appears that if rdesktop generates any output or perhaps exit code at all, then tsclient treats that a valid reason to reconnect. So, for example, if you request 24-bit colour and the remote computer only

There are similar bug reports like this one for 8.04, and 8.10, e.g. #249790. The common thread appears to be compiz on an Intel card (so presumably Intel X server). It could affect other combinations but the reports I've seen have all been on Intel cards. If *increasing* the resolution, compiz
