Thanks, I will take a look when I get home. I was using rdesktop via BeRDP and on its own, but it choked on the auth portion. IIRC FreeRDP failed to launch. Also tried the KRDC port but it never gave me the option of using RDP despite its claims.

I was a little annoyed at the gigantic pile of packages that came along with those last two options, but there's no need to rehash rehash that argument. I do wish there had been an obvious way to clean those up after removing the applications they supported though.

FreeRDP is CLI-launch-only, so if you tried to start it via the GUI, that may have been your problem. We should probably rework BeRDP to use FreeRDP instead of rdesktop, but that's more involved.

I think KRDC may be hardcoded to use "xfreerdp", so it won't find the Haiku variant.

Yeah, "autoremove" isn't implemented unfortunately, nobody has gotten around to that yet. It would indeed be nice to have.

I was launching it via the CLI. As I said, I'm afraid I do not recall the reason it failed to launch. If it does so now that you have updated it I will forward what information I can through the appropriate channels.
