An interesting thing to note - the screenshot below (taken with import = -window root), the "My Network Places" icon is rendered properly, though = I'm looking at it on my screen now with the "k" reversed.

Brian, I had the same problem with running rdesktop on my PowerPCs (Macs). It took me about 3 weeks before I found what could fix it. It seems to be an X Video driver problem when working with mono pixmaps (which is what RDP uses for fonts) that are exactly 8x8. There are some settings that you can set in your XFree86 config file that should help. The one that helped for me is set in the "Device" section, namely Section "Device" ... Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect" ... EndSection Other options that may also help with things like this are... XaaNoPixmapCache XaaNoScanlineImageWriteRect XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill XaaNoCPUToScreenColorExpandFill XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillRect XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillTrap XaaNoDashedBresenhamLine XaaNoDashedTwoPointLine XaaNoImageWriteRect XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillTrap XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill XaaNoScanlineImageWriteRect XaaNoScreenToScreenColorExpandFill XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy XaaNoSolidBresenhamLine XaaNoSolidFillRect XaaNoSolidFillTrap XaaNoSolidHorVertLine XaaNoSolidTwoPointLine Hope this helps.
