RDPv5 doesn't fix it for me. I am back to using 'rdesktop -r clipboard:CLIPBOARD' directly from the shell. This is pretty much a show stopper for using linux when you have windows boxes in your organization. I know it seems like a small thing, but till evolution is stable with Exchange (and it's getting better, but still not close), we are stuck using TS, VMs or wine for email.

Shell scripts are not really acceptable when you manage 10+ clients running windows either.

I used the following to convert my rdp items into rdesktop shell scripts that I can then add to a drawer in gnome (note the ~/bin directory must exist):

cd ~/.tsclient
for i in *.rdp; do grep 'full address' $i | cut -d':' -f3 | while read j; do echo '#!/bin/sh' > ../bin/$i.sh; echo rdesktop -5 -f -r clipboard:CLIPBOARD $j >> ../bin/$i.sh; chmod 700 ../bin/$i.sh; done; done
