Thanks!

I'm glad to announce that it's now possible to donate to the rdesktop 
project, through the SF donation system 
(http://sourceforge.net/project/project_donations.php?group_id=24366).

You can also donate directly to individual rdesktop developers that have 
enabled donations. Currently, this includes Matt Chapman and me. Donations 
to me will allow me to use more of my spare time to go through the bugs 
and patches trackers. This is something that I really feel needs to be 
done.

Most Windows VNC servers uses a polling approach, which gives a 
non-optimal performance. There are "mirror" or "hook" drivers" available 
for some implementations, such as TightVNC.

The X11 server Xvnc uses a more direct approach. We are using it in 
ThinLinc and it gives a really good performance.
