just tried this out, nice work. it took some trial and error to find that a windows option for Network Level Authentication was limiting the connection. I think an error popup would have been helpful. Got a successful connection on windows 7, windows 8 however....

on Win8 the screen is horribly messed up. the interface appears to function, but the screen is unreadable, obviously a graphics problem. since rdesktop does not seem to support win8 (not tested, just noted a lack of claim on rdesktop's site) i will assume that it is at fault, or rather its ability to understand whatever is different in win8. if anyone has a tip on a solution for this I would appreciate it (other than not using such a crappy system).

EDIT: looks like RDP8 v RDP5 is the problem. this post on stack overflow has more info

keep up the good work, thank you.
