Hi Mike,

although i don't use rdesktop but FreeRDP i've had that problem some time ago.

The way i've managed to do it was by calling a script that do some stuff and instead of calling freerdp -f ( fullscreen ) it calls it with a windows the size of the root window.

Something like this:

#!/bin/bash

# Script para Proxy RDP com optimização de trafego e

# Sem necessidade de usar um Gateway Windows

# ou Expor portas rdp directamente cá fora

# Impressora funciona como PDF - nao tem problemas de compatibilidade

# Se existir um ficheiro ~/.ssh/hostname ele usará esse hostname ( requerido por algumas

# aplicações como o Primavera por exemplo para controle de postos.

# Tecnologias de Base: X2GO-DEV; Xfreerdp-DEV

# 2011 hteles@spikecs.pt

SCRIPTNAME=`basename $0`

LOGFILE="${HOME}/.$SCRIPTNAME.log"

SERVER=${SCRIPTNAME}

PORT="3389"

SOUND="off"

MOUNTPOINT="${HOME}/media/disk"

# Newest xfreerdp git versions have a bug with full screen ( -f ) under nxagent

DSIZE=`xdpyinfo |grep -i dimensions|awk '{print $2}'`

PRINTER=`lpstat -d |cut -d ':' -f 2 |tr -d ' '`

...

open_rdp()

{

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout pt

KEYB="0x00000816"

COMMAND=" -d Domain -x 3 -z -g ${DSIZE} -k ${KEYB} --gdi hw -n ${USERHOSTNAME} --sec rdp ${FINALSTRG

} ${SERVER}:${PORT}"

Hope that this helps you,

regards
