Hi Nicolas,

Yes someone (me) have goofed up. Thanks for spotting this 
incompatibility. There were alot of changes to rdesktop and SeamlessRDP 
for the new feature of connection sharing. The intentions were to be 
back compitable with earlier versions of rdesktop but during the time of 
development that obviously changed and breaking this compatibility. I 
will update www.rdesktop.org with correct information around this subject.

If you want to use SeamlessRDP binaries from our servercd you need 
rdesktop v1.8.0 for it to work.


Regards,

Henrik Andersson
