But, when ever I mouse into the rdesktop window, I get a bunch of horizontal lines that garble the screen?  If I don't use "SWCursor", I get a big block cursor, but no garbled screen.

I hate to say this, but that Fedora code is so old it probably isn't
worth bugfixing at this point. I've been so busy with other work in
Fedora that I haven't had time to even look at SPARC in a very long
time. I know Dennis Gilmore is in the same situation.

I'd really love to be able to have the time to devote to a solid attempt
to do a current Fedora SPARC release, but I just don't know where it
would come from.

Firefox is rather notorious about having endian issues which cause Bus
errors (combined with assuming that SPARC == Solaris). Could be anything
really.
