This is still a problem (or has come back) in rdesktop 1.6.0 on
Maverick.

I've been using rdesktop this week to work from home. Despite the
freezes (perhaps a half-dozen times just today) it still seems to be the
best RDP client I've tried on Ubuntu - doesn't limit you to 1400x1050
resolution (tsclient), the right-hand Shift and Ctl keys work (Remmina)
and Ctl+Alt+A works remotely for KeePass (krdc).

I do not use a VPN although I am punching through a firewall at the
remote end, ala:

rdesktop -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -k en-us -g 1910x1130 -b -N -z -xb -r
sound:local -r clipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD -0 -5 SERVER.FQDN:15002

I have a 1920x1200 desktop locally, so I use the -g switch to get a
local window slightly smaller than my desktop so I can still click on
the local task bar to switch apps, etc. Sometimes when rdesktop freezes
clicking on its Close window decoration won't even close it, but I can
just switch to System Monitor to End Process it. I have not yet had it
lockup the whole system.
