Hi lars,

I use rdesktop every day, but not in full-screen mode.
Switch "-K" (keep window manager key bindings) works fine.
But I've checked now and found, that it doesn't work with "-f" switch.
The solution is the following: run "rdesktop -K -f xxx", and then press
Ctrl-Alt-Enter. Visually nothing changes (it occupies the whole screen),
but now you are able to use your xmonad's hotkeys.

Cheers,
Sergey
