the thing i changed recently was the 'composite' extension. i disabled it, and
now rdesktop works great again.

I'm using nvidias accelerated X driver, an a self-compiled debian 2.6.12-10
kernel.

Hello Juergen

Thank you for reporting this problem, and for qualifying it further.
I will forward the information to the upstream developer forum.

I change the severity of this bug to 'important' because I don't
consider it grave. The problem you reported only occur after
activating the 'composite' extension, and, as you found out
yourself, deactivating the extension again makes the problem to
disappear.

Hello

I am the rdesktop package maintainer in Debian. I got a bug report
yesterday about the 'composite' extension causing the kde desktop to
freeze. See attached mail for more info.

Question; Is this a known problem, and if so, will it be fixed in
the next release?

Thanks you
