Looking at the code, you're setting RDP5_NO_CURSOR_SHADOW as the default 
for g_rdp5_performanceflags in the declaration, but the command-line 
parser (rdesktop.c line778), just overrides the value if you specify -x 
and another value. For example, -x m, -x b.

In short, specifying -x eliminates the "fix" of applying 
"RDP5_NO_CURSOR_SHADOW".

Thanks. Changing that setting does seem to have worked.
