.... I would like to see the *complete* Windows desktop on the N900 in one view (i.e. no scrolling on the N900 screen to see the different parts of windows desktop, like through VNC) ... The reason why I would like this is so that we can then use the N900's touchscreen display to effectively make the computer display touchscreen too .. ..

So is there any tool which allows you to remote control your PC, and also shrinks the remote PC display so that it fits in the N900 screen .. ? Can VNC Viewer be modded to do this maybe ?

I believe what you're describing is present in rdesktop. This uses the windows built in remote desktop service instead of a VNC server.

Alright, got what I needed, thanks ! But tell me, how do I right click while in rdesktop ?

And whats the difference between rdesktop and rdesktop-cli ?

The rdesktop-cli package is lacking a GUI for setting the connection parameters. However, the rdesktop package currently fails to connect to non-standard ports, so the -cli version is needed for that. If you're not needing to do that, then stick with the rdesktop package.

I know this is an old thread but I kind of figured out how to right click and this is one of the search results for "rdesktop right click" so I thought I'd point out how if anybody else is searching.

on the keyboard hit the "blue arrow" then "sym", that performs a right click. the bad part about this is that the arrow key is still waiting for a keypress so your next keypress will be a symbol or number. The behaviour is somewhat odd too, the sym button sometimes requires a double press.
