To start off - I've spent many hours scouring Google posts and this group trying to find an answer.... no cigar so far.
I am on ArchLinux 64-bit with everything up-to-date
I have the latest rdesktop version installed (1.7.1).
I logged in to my system (no SSL), username/password was accepted and I selected the desktop to log in. However, as soon as it tried bringing up the actual desktop it threw up a "desktop has unexpectedly disconnected" error. It didn't crash the View client, but it brought it won't let me actually bring up the remote desktop.
It appears rdesktop is choking on something. See below for my log (xxxxxxx=redeacted private details)
Any suggestions?

It's been a while since you posted this but after a quick look it
looks like the rdesktop version you're using doesn't support the -r
option that our code is attempting to call. You may have to see if you
have get a version of rdesktop that does support this or modify the
code to not call the -r option listed in the command line of this log
line:

If vmware-view-open-client is trying to use the -r option and the *very latest* rdesktop version does not support it, this would seem to be a bug to me.
The only way to get rdesktop to accept the -r option is edit the open-client code, or downgrade to prior version of rdesktop.
It seems to me this is a bug in open client, as it needs to be updated to remove the -r flag to ensure compatibility with the latest version of rdesktop.

I installed ArchLinux in a VM and installed rdesktop on it. When I run
rdesktop at the command line I can see that it does, in fact, support
the -r argument. Looking again at the command that is being run in the
log you posted there could be another -r option being sent that may be
causing the error to be thrown.
Unfortunately I'm not sure that this project is being actively being
developed anymore since the latest version of the open client is 4.5
and the current release of View is 5.0.1.
I will look into this and see what I can find out.

Did you ever come up with a solution?

I too am having similar issues with the 64 bit version of the View Client (versions 5.01 and 5.10).
I have uninstalled/reinstalled/rebooted many times....to no avail. The application does not appear in the task manager after launching.the app.
Any ideas?
