-k isn't very good. I guess I could make a wrapper script ...

I'm using an english locale in order to have english (=3D non-translated an=
d=20
therefore understandable) messages. Some translations are just bad.=20
Besides that, googeling local messages used to give bad/few results.

I've implemented that for completeness. Besides that, I think it's the=20
right thing to do.


However, I've completed the just-send-the-keys part, I can switch the=20
remote keyboard layout and it will just work as expected. I think it works=
=20
really as it should work, except for extra keystrokes because of=20
synchronizing the LED.

TODO:
1) While stupidly consuming keystrokes, rdesktop will also prevent=20
window-manager keystrokes from working at all. (I use e.g. Meta-Tab for=20
switching windows).
2) The remote locale should not be touched if the keys are passed as they=
=20
are. I still need to find the place where I can prevent that.
3) How to add an option for this. "-k direct-x86-devinput"?

If you're curious what I did, I uploaded my changes to=20
http://7eggert.dyndns.org/l/rdesktop/
For now, you can't use -k with my version, I just hijacked the function.
