rdesktop is run inside a VNC session, i.e. connect from desktop with vncviewer to a server running vncserver, and start rdesktop there. There was no problem running rdesktop locally (without -y, I did not try with -y as it worked without it). I reported the effects of keypresses, perhaps in a conf

AllenS: you can try setting autologin-session=XBMC to see if it fixes the wrong session problem.
