Bug Description

Binary package hint: rdesktop

Version 1.6.0/lucid update from 10.mar

With a twin screen setup (nvidia), if rdesktop is set to full screen, it takes over both monitors.
This is sometimes very nice, but it would be nice if it could just do full screen on just one monitor.
For now I specify the resolution manually in a script.

I get this on Ubuntu 12.04, it's an annoying bug as it completely ignores the huge rectangle of non-existent pixels when using two differently-sized monitors.
When resizing the window to be the same size as my larger monitor, the title bar and the Unity menu bar prevent me from moving the window into a position that allows me to see its entire contents.
