I didn't even know what rdesktop was, so I used rpm -qi rdesktop to
check what the description was, and it seemed to suggest that Citrix
ICA is a replacement.  I didn't follow up on citrix, as I don't have it
installed.  Now that I know I don't need rdesktop, I can remove it too
so the exercise was productive.

rdesktop is an open source client for Windows NT Terminal Server and
Windows 2000 & 2003 Terminal Services, capable of natively speaking
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) in order to present the user's NT
desktop. Unlike Citrix ICA, no server extensions are required.
