rdesktop mouse movement events consume excessive bandwidth

Hi anyone/everyone :-)

I've been using rdesktop for a while now, v1.60 latest on Ubuntu 9.04.  
My biggest (and only) complaint/problem with it is that when "mouse 
movement events" are enabled (default), this consumes A LOT of upload 
bandwidth.  For me, when I'm connected to a Windows machine via 
rdesktop, and I "jiggle" the mouse, it will consume all available upload 
bandwidth (50KB/s+).  Even in normal usage, it will consume on average 
20-30KB/s, and still peak to the max 50KB/s.  This does not go over well 
when other users in the house are trying to use the Internet (especially 
if they're playing a game, or talking on a VoIP phone...)

Disabling mouse movement events (-m) is a workaround, but not really 
acceptable because almost everything in Windows relies on movements 
events (highlighting text, dragging windows, mousing over a sub-area for 
scrolling, etc.).

Does anyone have any experience with this problem, and is it easily 
resolved?
