Well... It was just a clean install of Vista Business, and configured 
Vista's  remote desktop to allow connections from any version of remote 
desktop. I also performed all upgrades from Microsoft. Nothing else...
I'm using rdesktop-1.5.0-22 from openSUSE 10.2 repositories which you 
can find at 
http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/update/10.2
I've also checked their source rpm and found out that it has a few 
patches applied on top of a "vanilla" 1.5.0 but, It seems that there is 
nothing related to this discussion. Nevertheless, you can check it at 
http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/update/10.2/rpm/src/rdesktop-1.5.0-22.src.rpm

Hope this helps you in some way...
Rui
