I'm kind of thinking that the issue is on the Win2k3 server myself since the problem didn't come into existence until after an update to SP2, but I do not manage them and the individual that does doesn't seem to agree.  As its working for all the other thin clients it doesn't seem to be a problem with rdesktop, but I've been trying to explore all avenues.
