Well, the latest breaking news from the rdesktop front: - I tried to reemerge rdesktop (release 1.4.1) with the "debug" USE flag set in package.use. First test: It works !!! (after spewing incredible amounts of debugging messages at me). OK. - I removed the line specifying "debug" USE flag and reemerged again (same state as before). What do you think happened now?.... well.... it worked!!!! Well... on one hand, I'm glad it's working now. BUT .. I feel somewhat spooked :-))) Has ANYONE some kind of explanation for that???
