I personally would like a new version with a checkbox for connecting to the console (-0 commandline). To be able to save connections in a list would be great too. For me its one of the most important programs!
You could use Remote Connection Manager (grcm) with a command line rdesktop : it will keep a list for you
I know it's not fully polished but it's available in maemo-extras ...

Edit : And I think the command line is somthing like rdesk -f -z <host> -u <user> -p <password>

Then I found out I would be operating my XP desktop computer from my N800 with no virtual keyboard available.
In Vista under Accessories/Ease of Access is a virtual keyboard that works fine once you are Remoted into a Windows session. Under XP it's Accessories/Accessibility.

Me too. Yesterday I was able to launch it and app the disappeared. No Remote Desktop came up. Today, it worked. Nothing has changed with my network between attempts. This app is the reason I bought the n800, so I would really like to see this app be reliable. At least it would be nice to say why it doesn't connect before it just dissapears.

I humbly disagree. I upgraded N800 to 2.2007.50-2 during Xmas and has been using rdesktop 0.4 since. It is much more responsive and snappier than the 2007Os. I have it connect to a winXP Prof, and then log into my company via citrix on the winXP Prof. On the 2007, it is always a drag, it works, but not smooth. It is eye blinking with the 2008. Why do I go thru rdesktop to citrix? That is the ONLY way!. There aint no citrix driver for the tablet. I talked to citrix, they are NOT interested.

Back to the rdesktop. When the winPC goes into screensaver, sometimes, not all the time, the tablet will NOT be able to wake up the PC. Problem solved screensaver on PC was turned off. After that, I have not run into even once, that the rdesktop is having problem

I'm using it to control my media center pc.. I have all my music on there, connected to hi-fi's in different rooms, and i can control the media center application anywhere in the house.. Media center's got an on screen "phone keypad" where you can tap it in like a text message (only really used for searching for tracks)

On my N810, the first time I use rdesktop after a reboot, it works fine. Any subsequent uses (without rebooting first) results in a "Bad Window" error, as reported in xterm if I start rdesktop from there. This happens to multiple servers. Any ideas?

This is really pretty neat. I just VPN'd into my ASA with vpnc GUI and successfully Remote Desktop'd into my PC! I had my doubts, but some people obviously have done a lot of work-- many thanks!

download the command line only utility and use...it works every time. Use google and search for the different command options.
