I'm running 8.04 and 8.04 64bit, with dual monitors, and the proprietary NVIDIA drivers.

I've seen a similar issue where the seamlessrdp will take over the entire monitor, but I'm usually able to kill the rdp session a couple of times and come up with re-sizeable window.

I've figured out a work-around for a similar issue: the guest winXP desktop takes over one monitor and fills the screen.
My WinXP vm is running, using the Switch User and Welcome Screen services activated.
If I'm rebooting the guest, I need to log on and log off once.
I then run an app, using
rdesktop -A -s "c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe c:\program files\Microsoft Office\office11\outlook.exe" <ip> -u <user> -p <password>
in a script.
This window usually never appears, so I need to run a second script with the following switch: -s "c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe explorer"
Once I run the first script again, then the window pops up. This is usable, but I don't belive intended behavior.

I'm not sure where to look for logs, or how to get more verbose output from the command line, but dmesg does show several of the following afterwards:
[106373.027499] rdesktop[13764]: segfault at c2f2d4 rip 4135cf rsp 7fff6de15070 error 6
[106417.860373] rdesktop[13772]: segfault at c40f94 rip 4135cf rsp 7fff95325580 error 6

I realize that this might be a seamlessrdp thing, but since rdesktop is segfaulting, I thought that might be the issue. If anyone wants to look at this, I'll watch this bug and provide any information that might help. TIA.
