Thanks for the tip Steve! Remoting onto a Vista machine I got the same effect by switching the mouse pointer scheme from Windows Aero to “none”. Yay! Rdesktop onto Vista is actually USEABLE !!

If you want better performance (better than VNC), try FreeNX. I wrote a blog post about this here:

Look at the second tab or so in the mouse control panel for an item called “enable pointer shadows” and un-check it. It’s like magic. 🙂
