How long had you been running it when you got those errors? Do the plus signs show up every time or just the one time? Also, do you have a n800 or n810?
N800 here. The errors seemed to arrive with multiple in/out of fullscreen. I'm guessing it may have had something to do with the fullscreen button on the unit passing along its command to the remote machine. To clarify: the remote machine was running a full-screen application -- a modified Yahoo/Konfabulator widget that plays XM Radio -- which only responds to certain keypresses on either the keyboard or an IR remote (via Girder). Since the app kept abruptly switching to its volume control screen, I know it was responding to a plus sign (as the volume level never went down!). It's worthwhile to note that when in rDesktop, the app does respond as it should to the physical menu keys on the N800. This odd behavior only seems to occur after the session has bounced once or twice between full/window mode. I'll do some thorough testing over the weekend.

And, it does bear repeating: THANK YOU. Even WITH this quirk, having a 95% working rDesktop on the tablet is better than nothing at all. I can work around this problem if need be, after all...
