There is a bug in rdesktop: It assumes that if its window has
backing store enabled, it will never get Expose events. It even
disables Expose events for its window. This is wrong for two
reasons:
a) The X server may not have the window contents in backing
store because it is out of memory.
b) Fvwm *disables* backing store for all windows by default.
The problem you're running into is (b). You can circumvent this
if you put
Style rdesktop BackingStore
in your .fvwm2rc. I'll file a bug report with the rdesktop folks.
Bye
