This is a patch created by my college Dag-Erling Smørgrav to fix a bug
in rdesktop.
When the screen size changes, rdesktop resizes its window (unless
running in full-screen mode) but does not reset the clipping rectangle,
causing the portion of the screen outside the old boundaries to remain
blank.
The attached patch solve the problem.

I notice this change was applied upstream 2025-09-15 in

I thus suspect this was the wrong approach for fixing missing resize
handling, and closes it with the latest upstream version uploaded.
