The easiest way to control the clients centrally is to edit /etc/X11/Xsession. Some distributions may place that somewhere else, but I am talking about the global session management script for X. It is a shell script, basically X runs it automatically.
Format like this command1 & command2 & exec script1 OR command3 What I am trying to say is: all the things you want to load, you load in the background, to let another script take-over it must be called with exec. The final command - whether in this file or a called script, is the only one not called in the background. When that exits, X logs out. That's the entire principle of X session management. Since rdesktop can be run from the command line, and you don't seem to need anything else you should be able to just put an rdesktop command in the script. I don't know exactly how rdesktop functions, but you may need to run a window manager with it, if so you probably want a very minimal one like oroborus. Just work out the correct structure for the rdesktop parameters, and your set. Another approach would be to go to http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org there is a sample program there that acts as a gui frontend for rdesktop, you could put that in your Xsession, and then let users log onto windows through it.
