Ubuntu Desktop comes with ‘Terminal Server Client’, which is ‘tsclient’ with a ‘rdesktop’ backend for RDP functions.

Generally, I tend not to use the full screen mode, but in this instance I needed to. Unlike the Microsoft Remote Desktop client, there is no pinnable banner at the top of the screen to allow you to easily enter/exit full screen mode.

After a lot of keyboard mashing, and various key combos later, it seems that CTRL-ALT-ENTER is the correct combination.

   Thanks! I was trying to figure out the same keyboard shortcut using a newer version of Ubuntu (10.10).

   thanks a lot, this was quite a hassle, I had to logoff and hence stop all my running apps every time I mistakenly used the fullscreen option.
