The keyboard is't interacting with the session as well, but ctrl-alt-backspace will restart x resulting in the replimenu screen and when the rdesktop connection is started from there the session can continue from where it was left.

This seems to be a known bug in rdesktop 1.5.0. I did a bit of
googling and found this page at FreeBSD, where it is mentioned and
apparently fixed: http://www.freshports.org/net/rdesktop/

Unfortunately I'm unable to figure out what they have changed and
where to get it (I know nothing about *BSD). I only thing I managed to
find, was an updated Make files, but this makes no sense. Anyone?
