Summary: patch to read some settings from a configuration file

Initial Comment:
It's a bit of a pain to have to supply the colour depth
and geometry settings on the command line, every time
rdesktop is run.

This patch, to version 1.4.1, allows some settings to
be read from a configuration file
($HOME/.rdesktop/config) before the command line is parsed.

An example of a valid config file:

colordepth 16
geometry 1024x768

or

colordepth 24
geometry 80%

or

colordepth 16
fullscreen 1

Hi, having a config file for parameters that globally affect rdesktop
behavior would be a really nice to have feature. Is there any reason for
not accepting this patch ?
