Hi James,

I use RDesktop a lot.  That is a definite possibility.  I wonder is
the Windows Seamless RPD utility will work in XP.  Be fun to figure out.

When I am rdesktop'ed into my Windows users, I am always tickled
that the stupid clipboard doesn't crash.  I even rdesktop into
an XRDP server running Fedora Core 21.

Thank you!
