Hi Liam, Try installing gnome-rdp in Ubuntu from the software center menu, it give you options to add profiles and resize the screen, its a front end on the rdesktop command I believe.
Im not sure why tsclient doesnt work, I would have thought they both use the sam port numbers if they support the same RDP protocol.
