As of rdesktop version 1.5.0 Xinerama is not supported, but ideas for a patch are in http://joyce.webcreations.ca/rdesktop/rdesktop-1.4.1-xinerama.patch.I have slightly modified the patch, and result can be found in http://kom.aau.dk/~raller/rdesktop-xinerama.patch.
sudo apt-get install devscripts build-essential fakeroot
sudo apt-get build-dep rdesktop
apt-get source rdesktop
cd rdesktop-1.5.0
patch -p0 < /tmp/rdesktop-xinerama.patch
debuild -us -uc
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i rdesktop*.deb
Now, when entering fullscreen using Ctrl+Alt+Return, fullscreen only runs on the monitor where rdesktop runs.

Hey,
thanks for bringing up this patch. Really helpful in my case. With some minor tweaks I’ve succeeded in running DualView Windows guest on Ubuntu TwinView host (via VirtualBox). I will trackback you later when I write it all down.

[...] this has been a long known bug of rdesktop. Thanks to Rasmus Jacobsen’s post, I was able to redownload the original patch with some modifications and apply it to rdesktop [...]

Thanks!
also you need to do, before compiling:
# sudo apt-get install libxinerama-dev autoconf
otherwise the#ifdef HAVE_XINERAMA will not be satisfied and the patch is unfunctional
regards
