KDE has a really nice front end under the networking menu under the KDE
button. It's really easy. Put in the host and if it requires a
password and wa-la.l

Greetings fellow penguin heads:
I'm using rdesktop 1.2 that comes with Enterprise 3, because I need
to manage other Win machines around the network. This works great,
but you
have to specify the host you want on the command line. I was hoping
to not
have to have a desktop full of separate shortcuts for every host I
want to
attach to. Is there no front end to the rdesktop that lets you choose
hosts, akin to how M$ lets you choose when you use their RDP client?
Does
1.3 work better in this regard? I couldn't find documentation online
about
it.
I suppose I could write a shell script launcher that prompted for
this and then invoked rdesktop.
