Is it possible to use RDesktop without an X11 display?

Yes, at first it might seem pointless.  However, initiating a remote 
desktop connection to a windows computer will log in a user, and it 
potentially may log out a user that is currently logged in (for most 
workstation installs).  I don't actually need to display the console or 
interact with it.  It just needs to log in with supplied credentials and 
hit the yes button if somebody else is logged in.

I didn't see any sign of this being discussed in the archives, but it 
could be easy to miss something obscure like this.

Alternatively, if anybody knows of a way to log into or out of a windows 
session remotely that would be useful.
