Rdesktop in Slackware 12.2

There is a bug in latest version (1.6.0) of rdesktop (http://www.rdesktop.org/).

If you are using left-handed mouse locally, you will find that remote Windows will use right-handed mouse after connected.

It is not the same as what happens in Windows: local left-handed mouse will be taken to remote automatically with no configuration of mouse on remote desktop.

Apply patch from RedHat here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436454

It will modify three files in source of rdesktop: rdesktop.c, xkeymap.c, and doc/rdesktop.1.

Copy source of rdesktop from DVD of Slackware 12.2. Unzip, patch, and then repack it.
Update version in rdektop.Slackware script and then use it to compile your own patched package.

# updatepkg rdesktop-1.6.0-i486-2.tgz

$ rdesktop -l

It will take your local left-handed mouse to remote Windows desktop.
