Hello Gadi! That was very kind of you - but unfortunately it seems it was wasting your time. Originally, I though rdesktop is speed up when run from within a WM because when I launch a common X session on a LTSP server and from this session I launch rdesktop, it is faster than if I launch rdesktop directly on a thin client.
So I though, as the only difference in the WM presence, WM makes it faster. But, the truth is, that the rdesktop is faster just because the LTSP server is faster than the thin client (try yourself, open Acrobat Reader on the Windows terminal server and try scrolling some document). Ok, back to the NXclient you wrote - it seems just perfect right now to me. Maybe the only thing I would vote for is to use "xsetroot -bitmap" to have some nice tiled bitmap as a background :-) But it is just a cosmetic issue.
