Mike,

Thanks for the reply and the information. I actually found this earlier
solution from you from 4/2008 and so this is what we're using and it works:

In case this would be helpful to others, here are my notes:

 * edit the file ./packages/rdesktop/lib/menu/rdesktop
 * Comment out unwanted existing settings and add a new line for the local
server:

#package="rdesktop"; needs="x11"; title="MS Windows [fs]"; command="pkg
fullscreen rdesktop"
package="rdesktop"; needs="x11"; title="Emory Law"; command="rdesktop -d
EMORYUNIVAD
 -g 800x600 -T 'ELS Terminal Server' -r sound:local
IP.OR.DNS.OF.SERVER"


 * save the file and rebuild.

I had to use "rdesktop ..." and not "pkg fullscreen rdesktop ..." in order
for the change to work.

Thanks again,

Ben
