Hello rdesktop developers,

I notice that rdesktop has occasional issues with key mapping, and
thought you might want to take a look at the way we handle this in
VirtualBox, since we invested some time into making this work well.  You
can find our code under

http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/Common/VBoxKeyboard/

in the form of an LGPLed keyboard mapping library for X11 (so you should
be able to lift it out and plug it into rdesktop with relatively little
effort if you are interested in doing so).

It is something I have actually been meaning to take a look at myself
for some time, but since I never get round to it I thought I would
mention it here in case someone else does.

Regards,

Michael
