I think you're right, but -

1 - my terminal is a Windows box, and I think rdesktop is Unix-only, and

2 - I'm running Win2K, which I don't think has any built-in terminal 
services stuff.
Given that, I'm now running vncserver on the Win2K domU, and a vnc 
client on the Win2K terminal. This actually works pretty well. I can get 
full screen, and the mouse works properly. There is a problem, which is 
that the pixel block update in vnc is *very* slow, so you can't move 
windows around too much. However, it's a *lot* better than using SDL on 
the Dom0.
I don't suppose you know of anything like rdesktop for Win2K? Without 
paying for it? :)
