Hm, strange. I thought this was fixed long ago.

One thing I could imagine is that it can't find the /usr/NX/share/keymaps.

You could strace the process to check that.

Anyway: 

Workaround:

Try running a normal session and use newest rdesktop normally with the commands you want.

It should be _almost_ the same speed an dis the preferred method in NX 3.0.0.
