Disabling overlay fixes the colors, but the screen starts always from 
the right side. So if you pull the window title to the right, it 
stretches the picture from the left side.

Enabling overlay again and changing to GDI makes everything look correct :).

Changing to Direct X brings back the problems, so I expect Default == 
Direct X :).

This is an Nvidia Rivia TNT. At home another Nvidia had similar results. 
On a Citrix box, on the console, it worked, but when run through 
rdesktop it would just die until I set it to GDI. Rdesktop has only 256 
colors, so that may be part of that problem.

Hope this helps,
Jim
