I can also confirm that the -K option is not working with version 2ubuntu1.
In that version, the -y option was introduced, and with -yK my compiz key bindings are working (mostly).

There are a couple problems with this:
Ctrl+Alt+Enter doesn't work, but I get around this by specifying the window geometry as 25 pixels less than the height of my screen (just enough to show my top panel).
Ctrl+Alt inputs a new line to the remote computer, so when I try to rotate the cube with Ctrl+Alt+Right, if i press the combination slowly, I get a few blank lines in notepad on the remote computer.
The PageUp key is mapped as a /, Shift+PageUp is a ?.
The PageDown key isn't working at all.
The Down arrow is mapped as a windows key.
So basically, yeah, the key bindings work, but it is essentially useless to me to have this functionality without a working up/down and pageup/pagedown, as I do a good deal of programming on the remote machine.

I tried specifying a keymap file, even making sure that all my keys were mapped correctly in it (which it seems they were by default), but the -k option in rdesktop is apparently overrided by the -y option.

My plan is going to be to go back to 0ubuntu1 and wait for a fix...hope some of this info helps.
