Comment 1 for bug 279712

To clarify: when it locks up, the keyboard and GUI stop responding, although the mouse remains operational, though confined to whichever monitor it happened to be on (I have a dual-monitor setup, with two separate displays: ie: NOT linked as a single virtual display via Xinerama--due to gameplay issues with a certain Windows-based game).

It is my assumption that this is a lockup in the Xserver input loop, but I don't know for certain; the ability to move the mouse would suggest maybe not.

Additionally, rdesktop is being invoked via gnome-rdp 0.2.2-0ubuntu5, in a windowed mode.
