Regrettably, the patch I submitted needs additional work by the rdesktop developers or someone with more knowledge about Xlib programming. After applying the patch, XCreateImage(3) returns a valid Image pointer and does not crash the program, but the image it creates is slanted and unreadable. The impacted functions are ui_desktop_save() and ui_desktop_restore() in xwin.c. You can reproduce this by connecting to a Windows 2000 server in 8bpp mode, clicking on the Start button, and then clicking the start button again. The part of the desktop that is repainted will be displayed incorrectly. Regards, Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
