hi all: I copied over a windows MSTSC.exe and ran the remote desktop, it gave me a small window for the IP address, then after the successful connection, it shows me the (full screen ) XP login interface, weir thing is, it loses mouse / keyboard focus now, so I can't type in anything, neither can I close the window, the focus is still on the background (gnome) desktop, so I could press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and go to console to manually kill the MSTSC.exe window. anybody has an idea why it loses input focus? thanks a lot Yang

Also there is the *nix program rdesktop that I use regularly to connect to Windows terminal servers. http://www.rdesktop.org/ -- Anish Mistry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
