I created a startx.wait script, which is the same as the startx script
with the following modification. It contains the lines:
echo -n " Press <enter> to Login to Windows"
read
after the "DISABLE_ACCESS_CONTROL" section and immediately before line:
"if [ "${XF_ARGS}" = "" ]; then
I'm not sure if that's the ideal place for it, but it works. The boot
process pauses at "Building the xorg configuration file" (The wording
might not be exact, I'm going from memory).
So if I want a client to see Windows first, I set one screen to rdesktop
and the other to startx.wait. If I want a client to see Linux first, I
set one screen to rdesktop.wait and the other to startx. It does not
matter which is assigned to SCREEN_01.
