Summary: left handed mouse (cont.)

Initial Comment:
Since I have some windows machines with right-haned mice and the linux box on my desk is has a left-handed mouse the button remapping introduced recently is quite distracting for me. I have a patch that "fixes" this for me. It simple turns of the remapping.

Howerver, I think the most reasonable approach in the future would be to introduce some more advanced remapping scheme in rdesktop.

Any chance that this patch will make it into 1.6.1 or 1.7 or whatever may
be the next version - I find it highly useful being left handed as well....

to try using -M.  I would suggest an update to the man page as part of your
patch.  For the -l patch I have

 Do not send mouse motion events.  This saves bandwidth, although some
Windows
 applications may rely on receiving mouse motion.
