afiak ver 1.5 is the pipeline commandline version. Version 0.4 is the maemo gui version. (the 1.5 command/binary is rdesk not rdesktop, to prevent incomaptibilities...)
My experience has been-
Version 0.4 is all kinds of buggy, does not work at all at 16bpp color depth a has weird issues, but integrates with the maemo ui better.
Version 1.5 works well albiet, from the command line, But does not integrate with maemo afa fullscreen, minimize, etc...

Both versions suffer on the n810 from a bug where Fn+Keypress does not translate to the remote desktop correctly. You must hold down the Fn key and type the second key twice, For example-

On a remote host in notepad-
Type- [Fn]+[Q] (should be '1', but nothing shows up. Sometimes a menu item is activated though?)
Press and hold [Fn] and type [q]+[q] and '1' shows up in notepad...

This bug has to do with which key events are sent to the remote and how they are sent. It is present in both versions. rdesktop is sending the raw keycodes for 'Fn'+<key> instead of holding them locally and sending the modified result... I'm looking at what it will take to patch.

But 1.5 is more reliable for sure.

Hope this helps,
