Hi Sascha

=46rom the rdesktop man page:=20

OPTIONS:
=2E..
=2DK     Do not override window manager key bindings.  By default rdesktop=
=20
attempts to grab all keyboard input when it is in focus.
=2E..

It seems to do the trick for me. I have Ctrl+Menu for window cycling in my=
=20
window manager (blackbox), and that works fine, leaving Alt+Tab for=20
cycling in the Windows session. Neither interferes with the other.
