The -K option doesn't work for me either in rdesktop. Installing the older 1.6.0-0ubuntu2 version fixes the problem.

The older version also fixes a - what I guess could be related - mouse grab problem. With the current version, gnome, and focus-follows-mouse, once the keyboard gets grabbed you also can't move the rdesktop window or drop-down gnome menus until you can get the focus to another window. Luckily you can minimise or close the rdesktop window or click on the workspace applet to escape.

BTW, If that '-y' option has been added then the man page is now out of date as it doesn't mention it.

Intrepid has been quite a regression for mixed Windows environments, with both a faulty pptp and rdesktop, neither of which is fixed yet in the official release. Not good if conversions from the Windows user base are any sort of priority.
