I have no idea, sorry.

Create a shortcut to "%windir%\system32\tsdiscon.exe". That program disconnects your terminal session.

If you have ssh keys, you should be able to put your public key in the remote computer's authorized_keys file. If you didn't use a password on your private key, you should be able to login to the remote computer without entering a password. See http://immike.net/blog/2007/08/06/pa...ther-ssh-tips/ for a step-by-step tutorial.

I don't have any ideas for the rdesktop password, as I don't have my N900 yet.
