Summary: Window decoration issue

Initial Comment:
Just curious if I'm the only one who's having a problem
with rdesktop not supporting Windows XP window decorations?

I'm using rdesktop 1.3.1 (on a number of different
Debian machines) to connect to an XP Pro machine. 
Everything works great, except that all application
windows lack their usual bubbly, fisher-price-style
window decorations and minimize/maximize/close buttons.

Instead, the window decorations look much like what you
get when you start a command prompt under XP.  They're
just flat blue, with plain gray min/max/close buttons.

Is there something I can do to correct this, or are
XP-style window decorations just not supported?

I finaly figured how to get the decorations and wallpaper working with XP!
 
Just use the rdp 4 protocol instead of rdp 5.  Its done using the "-4"
option.

I have the same problem.  I'm not sure weather the problem
is with XP or rdesktop.  The login prompt appears with the
XP luna theme but after the login the theming changes.  The
themeing works fine when usinging mstsc.exe(remote desktop
client) on winxp.  When connecting with rdesktop after a
previous winxp session with themes using mstsc, imediatly
after the login, the taskbar and windows appear with themes
for a split second and then themes are removed.  It seems
like rdesktop is able to display the themes but winxp isn't
allowing it to.  My guess this could be due to some policy
although I've been unsuccessful in finding it.
