Good points.

fwiw - the latest verison-rdesktop 1.3.1  inherits keysyms, maps and
modifiers from X.

I'm running rh9 with XFree 4.3.x - I went back and checked ;apparently - the
key thing you need to do
is to specify pc102 keybd. Specifying kblayout "en" or "he"  both seem to
work fine in english and hebrew.

For general user deployment it makes more sense to retain the conventions
that Windows users are used to
i.e. right/left alt-shift.

btw - I've just ported this little change into PXES - so that you can have a
bootable iso image or bootp over PXE
that supports Windows terminal servers with hebrew/english support for
Windows applications.  The std PXES distribution
didnt support hebrew input methods properly.
