One problem I've had with rdesktop a shared clipboard -- it doesn't seem
to exist in rdesktop.  With some VNC clients and vmware, you can share
your clipboard.  This is important to me, because I'm forced to run some
windows apps for our ticket tracking software, but I'm typically
answering linux and unix questions, and it'd be nice to be able to copy
and paste from xterms and mozilla.
