@ktp420: so, you have only one keyboard layout: English, right?

Yes, -y option introduced by this patch made keyboard work absolutely
correctly in Hardy.
Then, starting from Intrepid, running rdesktop with -y caused arrow
keys and alike to stop working. Without -y option, keyboard in Russian
layout made weird things, but arrows were working. So, if you have
English layout only, and didn't use -y option, it must be that this
patch didn't affect you in that sense.

You might not reproduce the text from the Bug 270997, it was read
thoroughly several times, I know it by heart.
When you run rdesktop with -K option in windowed mode, ctrl+alt+arrow
really should switch desktops.
Also, did you manage before to switch desktops in full-screen mode?
I mean, desktops could be switched, but you still don't see them
behind the full-screen rdesktop window.
