It is a bunch of stuff put together using RDP and new x11rdp channel.
X11RDP provides composite extensions and various other features that
are not available in RDP, this channel is available only in patched
rdesktop. If the channel is absent normal RDP is used as a fallback.

We have to provide password, we implemented in rc scripts and then
re-did it in c as that was the safest place.
