Question: Using Vinagre on Ubuntu 11.10, when I RDC into a remote Windows XP machine, I only get a 800x600 resolution on the remote display. I can't increase it on the Windows machine, it's stuck at 800x600. Any way to customise?

If I use Terminal Server Client on Ubuntu instead of Vinagre, I can adjust the res. Any way to fix for Vinagre?

Answer: 
A quick hack:

1. mv /usr/bin/rdesktop /usr/bin/rdesktop.bin
2. create the file /usr/bin/rdesktop to with the contents: 

```
#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/rdesktop.bin -g 1024x768 $*
```
3. chmod 755 /usr/bin/rdesktop

The remote desktop viewer, vinagre, just runs rdesktop, so this in effect sets the default geometry.
Remmina → Vinagre, if only because it allows different RDP resolutions, and it includes a feature to import `tsclient` config files.
